Fakin’ It Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When she goes, she's gone
If she stays, she stays here
The girl does what she wants to do
She knows what she wants to do

[Chorus]
And I know I'm fakin' it
I'm not really makin' it

[Verse 2]
I'm such a dubious soul
And a walk in the garden wears me down
Tangled in the fallen vines
Picking up the punch lines

[Chorus]
I've just been fakin' it
Not really makin' it
No, no, no, no

[Verse 3]
Is there any danger?
No, no, not really, just lean on me
Taking time to treat
Your friendly neighbors honestly

[Chorus]
I've just been fakin' it, fakin' it
Not really makin' it
This feeling of fakin' it
I still haven't shaken it

[Verse 4]
Prior to this lifetime
I surely was a tailor, look at me

[Interlude]
(Good morning, Mr. Leitch)
(Have you had a busy day?)

[Bridge]
I own the tailor's face and hands
I am the tailor's face and hands

[Chorus]
I know I'm fakin' it, fakin' it
I'm not really makin' it
This feeling of fakin' it
I still haven't shaken it, shaken it

[Outro]
I know I'm fakin' it
I'm not really makin' it
