Something Real (From "How to Build a Better Boy")

I thought I knew what I wanted, 'til I got it

Turned around, now the pressure's on in the moment

I was chasin' a fairytale, until I caught it

Took a leap of faith, now I'm back where I started out

This perfect life somehow doesn't really feel right

I learned tonight, that I—

I'd trade it all for somethin' real, somethin' that's raw, somethin' that I, I, I can feel

Flaws and all

Now, here's the deal, I don't want nothin' 'less it's somethin' real (Somethin' real)

I used to get so caught up findin' all the answers

Always liked to play it smart, never takin' chances

Had to see for myself to believe in magic

Now I know inside my heart I already had it all

This perfect life is an un-perfect puzzle sometimes

I learned tonight, that I—

I'd trade it all for somethin' real, somethin' that's raw, somethin' that I, I, I can feel

Flaws and all

Now, here's the deal, I don't want nothin' 'less it's somethin' real

All along I was posin' for the cameras

Focused on a dream world driven by the sand man

Now I'm awake and life is so much better

Let's go crazy now, all of us together

Let's get real (Let's get real)

Let's get real

I'd trade it all for somethin' real, somethin' that's raw, somethin' that I, I, I can feel

Flaws and all

Now, here's the deal, I don't want nothin' 'less it's somethin' real (Oh, yeah)

Oh oh ooh oh

Ooh, somethin' real, somethin' real, somethin' real

Oh oh ooh oh (Eh, eh, yeah)

Somethin' real
