Real Life

Bastille


I came for distraction
Then I got swept away
By this new religion
By my digital faith

And all of my friends are here, up to no good
So why would I leave if I could stay here for distraction?
Oh, I forgot why I came, but

Oh, oh, oh, oh, I wish this was real life
Oh, oh, oh, oh, I wish this was real life
Don't wanna wake up, no
I wanna keep pretending
Oh, oh, oh, oh, I wish this was real, real life
I wish this was real life

Out there I'm a loser
That you might just forget
In here I'm a goddess
And I leave all my regrets

I'm happy here wearing this skin that I made
So why would I want to be awake?
In here I'm a somebody
And they all sing my name

Oh, oh, oh, oh, I wish this was real life
Oh, oh, oh, oh, I wish this was real life
Don't wanna wake up, no
I wanna keep pretending
Oh, oh, oh, oh, I wish this was real, real life
I wish this was real life

So look at me now
Look at me now, now, now, now, now
Just look at me now
Look at me now, now, now, now, now, now

Oh, oh, oh, oh, I wish this was real life
Oh, oh, oh, oh, I wish this was real life
Don't wanna wake up, no
I wanna keep pretending
Oh, oh, oh, oh, I wish this was real, real life
I wish this was real, real life
