Lyrics
Real
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You read the news
Turns you inside out
And everybody feels the same as you
Uncertain times
The onset rules apply
Caught in the blind spot
Of mirrored love
Can you feel
Real like you are?
Can you feel alive?
The way I feel your light
And the biggest chance that we can take
Is open arms and wide awake
Hold me now
So we can feel alive
Tonight
I need to feel you there
I want to know where i belong
And I felt the sting
The sting of corrosion
I need a safe place to
Close my eyes
Can you feel
Real like you are?
Can you feel alive?
The way I feel your light
And the biggest chance that we can take
Is open arms and wide awake
Hold me now
So we can feel alive
Oh, we were so lost
And there was so much more than you could bear
And i was cold in my defeat
You're alone and incomplete
When the sound
Could break down the walls
Can you feel
Real like you are?
Can you feel alive?
The way I feel your light
And the biggest chance that we can take
Is open arms and wide awake
Hold me now
So we can feel alive
So I can feel alive
Tonight
