Lyrics
Here's one of me
Smiling in a sunset
And there's me lying on the beach
Here's everybody
At the party
And one of me
Looking nothing like me
It's all just pretty fences
Keeping up a pretty distance
Between the real you
The real me
What you get
And what you see
We paint 'em all pretty on the street side
A picture's worth a thousand lies
I wonder if we'd still be friends if
We burned these pretty fences
What you don't see
Is me, mascara running
Lying on the floor with my heart broke
Or the one when
I'm drunk on Sunday morning
The ugly truth
But how would you know?
It's all just pretty fences
Keeping up a pretty distance
Between the real you
The real me
What you get
And what you see
We paint 'em all pretty on the street side
A picture's worth a thousand lies
I wonder if we'd still be friends if
We burned these pretty fences
Tinted lenses
All of these pretty pretenses
Defenses, defense us
All of these pretty, pretty fences
Oh yeah, oh-oh
Why do we care more 'bout being liked
Than being like
Who we really are?
It's all just pretty fences
Keeping up a pretty distance
Between the real you
The real me
What you get
And what you see
We paint 'em all pretty on the street side
A picture's worth a thousand lies (a picture's worth a thousand lies)
I wonder if we'd still be friends if
We burned these pretty fences (we burned these pretty fences)
Tinted lenses
All of these pretty pretenses
Defenses, defense us (would you love me, would you like me)
All of these pretty pretty fences (if we weren't these fences?)
