This poignant piece by Bastille explores the complexities of a relationship that has been marred by past mistakes. The lyrics express a desperate desire to go back in time and correct these errors, but acknowledge the impossibility of such a feat. Instead, the protagonist suggests they 'fake it', implying an attempt to recreate their love as it once was, despite the scars from past transgressions. The repeated line "I wanna waste all of my time with you" underscores a deep longing for the partner and willingness to invest time in mending their bond. Overall, this song encapsulates the struggle and determination involved in trying to salvage a relationship that's on the brink of collapse.
Fake It
Lyrics
And I don't think that that's a selfish want, I really don't
I'm not saying that I have this capacity
Because it's hard to develop that capacity on your own
When you're being stopped at every turn
Drive around, night time, nowhere to go
Melt me down, I'm like wax to your jokes
Lost and found, knocking heads, laying low
And there's no point reliving crimes to lose this
Still wanna waste all of my time
I wanna waste all of my time
Still wanna waste all of my time
I wanna waste all of my time
With you
Oh my lover, my lover, my love
We can never go back
We can only do our best to recreate
Don't turn over, turn over the page
We should rip it straight out
Then let's try our very best to fake it
Show me joy, flower through disarray
Let's destroy, each mistake that we made
Then restore the color back to the grey
There's no pride in sharing scars to prove it
Still wanna waste all of my time
I wanna waste all of my time
Still wanna waste all of my time
I wanna waste all of my time
With you
Oh my lover, my lover, my love
We can never go back
We can only do our best to recreate
Don't turn over, turn over the page
We should rip it straight out
Then let's try our very best to fake it
Help me turn a blind eye
Days and nights we lost to weakness
Help me turn a blind eye
Days and nights we lost to weakness
Oh my lover, my lover, my love
We can never go back
We can only do our best to recreate
So don't turn over, turn over the page
We should rip it straight out
Then let's do our very best to fake it
Oh my lover, my lover, my love
We can never go back
We can only do our best to recreate
Don't turn over, turn over the page
We should rip it straight out
Then let's do our very best to fake it
