Real Life by Bastille Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I came for distraction
Then I got swept away
By this new religion
By my digital faith
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Out there I'm a loser
That you might just forget
In here I'm a goddess
And I leave all my regrets
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm happy here wearing this skin that I made
So why would I want to be awakе?
In here I'm a somebody
And thеy all sing my name
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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
I came for distraction
Then I got swept away
By this new religion
By my digital faith
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Out there I'm a loser
That you might just forget
In here I'm a goddess
And I leave all my regrets
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm happy here wearing this skin that I made
So why would I want to be awakе?
In here I'm a somebody
And thеy all sing my name
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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
