The song is sung from both points of view of a boy and girl (or man and woman) imagining each other in dreams (drawing inside your own mind), then trying to find each other in real life (it's not easy, of course), and they are ultimately successful. | The song is sung from both points of view of a boy and girl (or man and woman) imagining each other in dreams (drawing inside your own mind), then trying to find each other in real life (it's not easy, of course), and they are ultimately successful. | ||

Lyrics
Create a place through shapes and shades Build a blinding stage where beauty is made But when your colors fade Everything will change
I'm trying hard to imagine better Daydream him, I'll wait forever I'll pray that our paths blur Together
It might not be true, but it's the best I can do It's only to keep a little piece of you I can't keep it inside, I'll have to shout it out loud All of the things I couldn't live without
And I'm pouring my heart, and I'm spilling my soul And I'm taking a breath, and he's giving his all And I wanna walk out from the trouble I'm in 'Cause I'm really not sure where to begin
And if faking it will make it better Better than it was before And lies could bring us close together So I won't be lonely no more
Pretending it doesn't matter Could help me pass the time Make-believe he'll hide forever
This is real life This is real life This is real life, oh oh oh This is real life, oh oh (It's time to see the real life)
Paint your world full of tones Write the story so you know how it goes But my heart's alone Until he comes home
He'll make a decision, he'll have no choice And I'll hold him close, he'll hear my voice And I'll pray we're together Forever
Take a deep breath, go for a walk I wish you were here, 'cause we've got to talk I can't keep it inside, I have to shout it out loud All of the things I couldn't live without
And I'm pouring my heart, and I'm spilling my soul And I'm gasping for air 'cause he's given it all He wants to wake up from the dream he's been in And start it all over so we can really begin
Faking it will make it better Better than it was before And lies could bring us close together So I won't be lonely no more
Pretending it doesn't matter Could help me pass the time I make-believe he'll hide forever
But this is real life (I'm just trying to survive) This is real life, ohhh (Every day and night in real life) This is real life, oh oh oh (Take it one step at a time) This is real life (Make-believing real life) It's time to see
Why he's taking the steps and he's making a stand He's pulling down walls and doing all that he can He's through with black and white and drawing the lines Between make believe and real life
(I'm just trying to survive) This is real life (Every day and night in real life) This is real life, ohh oh oh (Take it one step at a time) This is real life oooh (Make-believing real life)
My real dreams and real love You need the things that you can touch This make believe is not enough It's time to see A real life
