Make Believe

The lyrics describe someone looking back on a relationship that ended and wondering whether the two people could pretend to be in love again. Memories of meeting in the rain and holding hands on a summer day show that the relationship once brought closeness and happiness. The speaker’s repeated questions suggest longing, regret, and uncertainty, rather than confidence that they can truly reunite.

“Make believe” means to pretend or imagine something is true; here, it may offer a temporary way to revisit love, even if the feelings or circumstances have changed. The “crimson moon” is an unusual image that suggests something rare or unlikely can still happen. “No place to hide” implies that lovers cannot avoid facing painful feelings, while “the way the wind blows” suggests changing circumstances beyond their control.

The speaker seems torn: they want to imagine being together again, but also say they are not there to change the other person’s mind or waste their time. That tension leaves the invitation open to more than one reading. It could be a sincere hope for reconciliation, or a wistful request to share a comforting fantasy without promising that the relationship can be restored.
