[x2]

Verse

In real life I'm waking up alone.

It's one more night you didn't make it home.

And one more time you won't pick up the phone.

In real life you never bring me flowers.

When you're here, it's only for an hour.

I'm getting used to being on my own.

Because in real life you're not what I thought.

Real life, this isn't what I want.

Guess things aren't always what they seem.

Chorus

But in my dreams, I'm waking up to roses,

Champagne, kisses and I know it's always, always

Gonna be, gonna be this way.

In my dreams, you're standing right beside me.

Two hearts finally colliding.

Then I wake up and realize, realize this is real life.

Verse

In real life it doesn't always work out.

People fall in love and then they fall out.

Hearts can break and never make a sound.

Because in real life you're not what I thought.

Real life, this isn't what I want.

Guess things aren't always what they seem.

Verse

But in my dreams, I'm waking up to roses,

Champagne, kisses and I know it's always, always

Gonna be, gonna be this way.

In my dreams, you're standing right beside me.

Two hearts finally colliding.

Then I wake up and realize, realize this is real life.

Bridge

Just when I thought this was all real life could be,

Somebody came along and made my dream reality.

And now in real life, waking up to roses,

Champagne, kisses and I know it's always, always

Gonna be, gonna be this way.

In my dreams, he's standing right beside me.

Two hearts finally colliding.

Then I wake up and I realize, realize this is real life.
