lyrics
Didn't know you would be here; 'guess you thought that I knew.
As I walk with your shadow, feel my heart tear in two.
The last time I kissed you, I knew your love was revealed.
And I'm left here now wondering just how, how could this Seem So Real?
When a dream becomes conscious, how can we know what's true? Should we walk in our blindness, or leave passion subdued?
The warmth in your touch (has) left me wanting more each day.
Now, I don't care if we have to rush, just tell me that you'll stay.
[Instrumental]
Now your shadow, it leaves me, sailing far from my view.
Still, I cling to your memory; I pray God might renew
Your scent on the wind; will my poor heart fully heal
By the next time I wonder just how, how could this Seem So Real?
When's the next time I'll wonder out loud, how could this Seem So Real?
