playing pretend - gumshoes lyrics

don’t think about it, don’t look down

with every hurricane, another colour bleeds into the gutter
the lightning’s whiter now, it flashes past the blackened evergreens
now the flowers smell of sulfur and the air is awful heavy
you hear the silence of a vulture where the birdsong used to be

it’s now and then, but mostly now
don’t look back, but don’t look down

with every day your claustrophobia’s a little bit more hollow
you feel the sp*ce between the thing it was and what it could’ve been
when you turn away, a light goes out behind you. is it k!lling you
to bе so certain of the pretty things you’ll nеver get to see?

well heaven’s not a lost and found
don’t look back, but don’t look down

way back when, they couldn’t swing a net without collecting fifty fireflies
collections they were buried with i guess
because there’s nothing left for you
you try to shake the feeling
the world is leaking all the good things out
but you know where they go
you just wish it weren’t true
because you’re gonna go there too
it’s now and then, but mostly now
don’t look back, but don’t look down
heaven’s not a lost and found
don’t look back, but don’t look down

just keep playing pretend that you’ll be there in the morning
playing pretend that the dawn’s not just as dark
playing pretend there’ll be grandkids in your garden
playing pretend there’ll be fireflies in their jar
