5 What’s Real

What’s Real

Am I awake or in a dream

Can’t tell what is from what just seems

I don’t know how I should feel

’Til you tell me what’s real


You say you love me, miss me so

You say you want our love to grow

And then you turn to say goodbye

Without a touch, without a sigh


Am I awake or in a dream

Can’t tell what is from what just seems

I don’t know how I should feel

’Til you tell me what’s real


Sometimes you take me by the hand

Like this is what the gods have planned

And other times you say my name

Like every word that’s caused you pain


Am I awake or in a dream

Can’t tell what is from what just seems

I don’t know how I should feel

’Til you tell me what’s real

We’ll wake and then we’ll talk awhile

I’ll feel the sunshine of your smile

And then the night comes crashing down

And thunder is the only sound


Am I awake or in a dream

Can’t tell what is from what just seems

I don’t know how I should feel

’Til you tell me what’s real


You set me soaring with a kiss

You sing us down the road to bliss

And then you find another song

Whose lyrics say that we’re all wrong


Am I awake or in a dream

Can’t tell what is from what just seems

I don’t know how I should feel

’Til you tell me what’s real
