[Verse 1] I know the way to shimmering pines
I know when to fold
I know the way to good surprise
I know to take it slow

[Chorus] I don't want the real life behind my back
I just want to keep mine

[Verse 2] How did we get to tears in your eyes?
How did we get too close?
How did we get to beds without nights?
How did the party slow?

[Chorus] I don't want the real life behind my back
I just want to keep mine
I don't want the real life behind my back
I just want to keep mine

[Verse 3] How do I spend a giant night?
Do I cool it by the coast?
Now you're disguised as a friend of mine
But I know what I've known

[Chorus] I don't want the real life behind my back
I just want to keep mine
I don't want the real life behind my back
I just want to keep mine
I don't want the real life behind my back
I just want to keep mine

[Outro] I know the way to the good surprise
