Real Life Lyrics by 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-oh, I wish this was real life
Oh oh oh oh-oh, I wish this was real life
Don’t wanna wake up, no
I wanna keep pretending
Oh oh oh oh-oh, I wish this was real, real life
Uh, 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 live for my regrets
I’m happier wearing this skin that I made
So why would I wanna be awake?
In here I’m a somebody
And they all sing my name
Oh oh oh oh-oh, I wish this was real life
Oh oh oh oh-oh, I wish this was real life
Don’t wanna wake up, no
I wanna keep pretending
Oh oh oh oh-oh, I wish this was real, real life
Uh, I wish this was real life
So look at me now
Look at me now, now, now, n-now
Just look at me now
Look at me now, now, now, n-n-now
Oh oh oh oh-oh, I wish this was real life
Oh oh oh oh-oh, I wish this was real life
Don’t wanna wake up, no
I wanna keep pretending
Oh oh oh oh-oh, I wish this was real, real life
Uh, I wish this was real, real life
