Real Life Lyrics


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 live for my regrets

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm happier wearing this skin that I made
So why would I want to be awake?
In herе, I'm a somebody
And they all sing my name

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, I wish this was rеal 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
