Bastille – Real Life

[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 awake?

In here I'm a somebody

And they 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
