  • There's no five years
    There's no ten years
    Only this
    Queen of, queen of, queen of queens

    There's no knife
    'Cause there's no tension
    Only this
    Lucid dream of, dream of dreams

    All I can do is trust in her
    Late nights I can see the lust in her
    Acid rain is a first for her
    Skies open up, share a cup with her

    Cracking seals, guilty no appeal
    Trip down the hill, strawberry fields
    Are you even real?
    She said, "tell me how you feel"
    Are you even real?
    Are you even real?

    Well maybe I should study my reflection
    Best to know
    How I seem, I seem, I seem

    I spend the day
    Dreaming of connection
    Just to feel
    How you feel, you feel, you feel

    All I can do is trust in her
    Late nights I can see the lust in her
    Acid rain is a first for her
    Skies open up, share a cup with her

    Cracking seals, guilty, no appeal
    Trip down the hill, strawberry fields
    Are you even real?
    She said, "tell me how you feel"
    Are you even real?
    Are you even real?

    Dream of connection
    Tell me how you feel
    Tell me how you feel
    Are you even real?
    Are you even real?

    Then she ran
    Then she ran
    Then she ran her hands through my imagination
    Then she ran
    Then she ran
    Then she ran her hands through my imagination

    (Are you, are you real?)

    Dream of connection
    Tell me how you feel
    Tell me how you feel
    (Are you even real?)
    Are you even real? Writer/s: Ali Tamposi, Brittany Hazzard, James Blake Litherland, Peter Lee Johnson
