Lyrics Real Life - Bastille

Real Life

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
