A CERTAIN REALITY

(Timothy Brickley, David Rheins, Pete Gable, Alan Hagenmaier)

You walk on by, you don’t say hi.

You just pretend like we were never lovers,

never lovers.

You don’t say a word, it might get heard.

So much easier to do it this way,

this way.

Learn to ignore, forget the score,

wake with dreams that scream for more,

because you have never had to do this before.

Then, honey, I see you and you see me.

    And it’s a certain reality. (4x)

There is love, there is hate,

there are all the shades between in-between us,

between us.

You don’t say a word, it might get heard.

So much easier to do it this way,

this way.

Like we never shared, we never cared,

like our hearts were never somehow paired

as we lay there with our souls so bare.

Then, honey, I was you and you were me.

    It was a certain reality. (4x)
