Chris Thile — This Is All Real lyrics

Lyrics

You won’t wake up -- you’re not dreaming -- this is all real
We’ve been playing like we’ve made sense of such a raw deal
Why’d you listen, what do we know?
It only looks like we have something you don’t
I lost my faith in our sweet illusion where every wound heals
So if you’re still there, let me tell you, this is all real …
… We felt like angels on the rooftops, looking down at you
Singing ideas that we’d just read, drunk on New Truth
It seduced me, soft and silver-tongued
With a way out after all the fun
I shut my eyes flew and hit a brick wall that wasn’t in the deal
So if you’re still there, let me tell you, this is all real
