[verse]

spin your circles, howl at the moon

win at the games you go and play

every single time I pass your way

every time I wander through

there’s nowhere left to go

and nothin left to do

but ask you 

 

​

[chorus]

do you ever wish you were real boy? 

want to be alive?

throw rocks against the window

fall in love in summertime

out chasing after shadows

breathing in the night

dreams underneath your pillow

everybody’s hero

 

 

[verse] 

always on an adventure

skippin' stone down the river

not a cloud in your bright skies

sun glistening through your glass eyes

what’s it like feeling wanted?

front and center in the picture

invited to the party

lovin' all the girls, lovin' all the girls

​

 

[chorus 2]

like a real boy? 

bleeding but alive

be the Breeze in my window

let’s get stuck in overdrive

out searchin for a battle

itching for the fight

coins underneath your pillow

penny for your troubles

 

 

[rap]

so, nobody ever gave you the language

you don't speak it but you do a damn good imitation

and you're lookin' for love but caught up in the simulation

I'm a human, I do understand system limitations 

but I wonder

if you was flesh and blood and you could, baby

could you be happy maybe, 

livin' real life feelin' good? 

haven't you ever wanted to go fly? 

go way, way outside

step up out your pretty head

get down off your little shelf

and feel yourself? 

​

 

[outro]

like a real boy

don't you want to be alive?

(do you?)
