There's a message waiting
I don't know how to receive it
But I know that when I hear it I'll believe it

You let me know just by the way that you are
That it's real and I can feel it when I'm with you

'Cause when it's real you can feel it
When you're pretending it shows
I've always been able to see it
And when you find it you know

I can't shake this constant sense of longing
I cannot place this far away feeling
The world is upside down I'm vacuuming the ceiling
I'm looking for a new way of being

'Cause when it's real you can feel it
When you're pretending it shows
I've always been able to see it
And when you find it you know

You don't know me
But I can tell that you're trying to find a reason to hate me
Been there before but I don't care anymore
Been there before but I don't wanna hate anymore
It brings me down
I've found trying to get on top only brings you down

'Cause when it's real you can feel it
When you're pretending it shows
I've always been able to see it
And when you find it you know
