Wanted Something Real Lyrics by Outrun

2017

[Intro]
Yeah
Outrun. Outrun

[Hook]
Always wanted something real
But I hadn't found it yet
Feeling this way ain't right

Come on baby shed some light (shed some light)
Yeah

[Verse]
I met you on that Saturday
And I saw you through the firelight
I had interest in you from the beginning
But I don't think you had interest in me (yeah, interest in me)

Yeah, Yeah
I know you have what I want
Always wanted something real
But I don't think I have a chance
It took one glance to realize there was something there
But now I left your town
Something doesn't feel right, the way you moved around

[Pre-Hook]
Baby I should have took your hand and told you how I felt
But my fears got in the way
It would have made my day
If I would've told you what I was thinking
And maybe you would have thought the same ( yeah, thought the same)
Yeah, I let my fears get in the way
But I will always look back on this day (yeah, look back on this day)

I made a mistake
Now I have to create a world where we don't communicate

[Hook]
Now you have what I want
Always wanted something real
But I don't think I have a chance
It took one glance to realize there was something there
But now I left your town
Something doesn't feel right, the way you moved around

[Outro]
I guess the lesson learned here don't let your feelings drown in fear
I am looking in the mirror
Trying to figure out what I should do
Without you here
(without you here, without you here, without you here)
