Something real

I'm getting tired of this same routine
I need to break out of this new machine
Take me back to feel the love we had
In the garden where it all began

Through that window I can see a light
I still see it when I close my eyes
I can feel the wind against my skin
I can almost hear you beckoning

I think we were made for something more than this
Not for just existence, but to truly live, oh

I'm done with impersonation, imitation
I want something real
I don't want the next best thing they're offering 'cause
I want something real
I don't want to hide behind a "perfect life" 'cause
I want something real

Lead me out into the open space
Let me hear your voice and see your face
Sometimes life is found in moving slow
It's in these valleys where the flowers grow

Take me to the place where mercy never ends
I don't want success, I want to be your friend

I'm done with impersonation, imitation
I want something real
I don't want the next best thing they're offering 'cause
I want something real
I'm done with the endless noise of a thousand voices
I want something real
