Lyrics

Real Thing (ft. Elohim)

Everyday I try, it gets a little harder
Tryna keep my head, head above water
Stumbling, fumbling, falling to my knees
Praying that we get a better day please

I can't ignore
I'm halfway out the door
But I just want
To feel you more

I'm looking for the real thing
Always looking for the real thing
But tell me is the real thing
Even a real thing?
(Real thing, real thing)
(Real thing)
(Real thing)

Fuck you when you fuck me over
But I'll be here to hold when you call me over
I wanna feel alright (Alright)
So let's stay up all night (All night)

Every time I leave it gets a little harder
Scared to touch the fire, but I wanna get higher
Wandering, wondering if I'll ever be
Capable of seeing what's in front of me (Front of me)

Looking for the real thing
Always looking for the real thing
But tell me, is the real thing
Even a real thing?
(Real thing, real thing)

Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Oh-woah-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-woah-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, ooh, woah, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Looking for the real thing
Always looking for the real thing (For the real thing)
But tell me, is the real thing
Even a real thing?
Looking for the real thing
Always looking for the real thing (Real thing)
But tell me, is the real thing
Even a real thing?
(Real thing, real thing)
