I Thought I knew what I wanted
'Til I got it
Turned around now the pressure's on
In the moment

I was chasing a fairytale
Until I caught it
Took a leap of faith
Now I'm back
Where I started out
This perfect delight
Somehow doesn't really feel right
I learned tonight

That I
I'd trade it all
For something real
Something that's raw
Something that I, I, I can feel
Flaws and all
Now here's the deal
I don't want nothing
'Less it's something real
Something real

I used to get so caught up
Findin' all the answers
Always liked to play it smart
Never taking chances
Had to see for myself
To believe in magic

Now I know inside my heart
I already had it all
This perfect delight
Is an un-perfect puzzle sometimes
I learned tonight

That I
I'd trade it all
For something real
Something that's raw
Something that I, I, I can feel
Flaws and all
Now here's the deal
I don't want nothing
'Less it's something 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
All of us together
Something real

I'd trade it all
For something real
Something that's raw
Something that I, I, I can feel

Flaws and all
Now here's the deal
I don't want nothing
'Less it's something real
