can't pretend at all

can't pretend at all lyrics

Intro

At noon, the tram shivers
One look and I’m split in two
At noon, the tram shivers
You don’t even turn

Verse 1

You in the metal seats
Hands folded like a dare
Paper bag on your knee
Sun on your collar there
I was counting stops
Then I lost the count
Your face cut through the crowd
And my whole spine bowed

Pre-Chorus

Tell me why
My mouth goes quiet
Tell me why
My pulse gets violent
One more glance
And I’m undone
One more glance
And I’m—

Chorus

Tram at noon, tram at noon
You make my balance fall
Tram at noon, tram at noon
I can’t pretend at all
I go high, I go down
In your orbit, I’m crowned
Tram at noon, tram at noon
And I lose my shape now

Verse 2

Your sleeve brushed mine
Like a match on glass
I should’ve looked away
But I wanted that
The stopnames blurred
In a silver smear
You stayed so still
And I stayed too near

Pre-Chorus

Tell me why
My hands start shaking
Tell me why
My ribs keep breaking
One more glance
And I’m undone
One more glance
And I’m—

Chorus

Tram at noon, tram at noon
You make my balance fall
Tram at noon, tram at noon
I can’t pretend at all
I go high, I go down
In your orbit, I’m crowned
Tram at noon, tram at noon
And I lose my shape now

Bridge

Say nothing
Keep that face
Let me fall
In your plain daylight
Say nothing
I’ll confess
You were a stranger
And I came alive

Tram at noon, tram at noon
You make my balance fall
Tram at noon, tram at noon
I can’t pretend at all
I go high, I go down
In your orbit, I’m crowned
Tram at noon, tram at noon
And I lose my shape now
Tram at noon, tram at noon
(Tram at noon)
You made a wreck of me
(Tram at noon)
And I loved the wreck I saw
