Lyrics

VERSE 1
A quiet road and no dead end
Just you and me, my friend
My hand slips in your hand
But you're not there
The sun's about to set
And the trees are painted red
The beauty of a moment
That we do not share

PRE CHORUS 1
Am I going insane
Or am I just daydreaming
Hard to explain
You fill my life with deeper meaning

CHORUS 1
Can I dream you to life
Need you here by my side
Cos only you really know
What to say to make things glow
And I try to hold you
But my fingers go through
Can you be real

VERSE 2
It's written in the stars
There's no plan for us
I can't change the course
You won't be there
My mind's a haunted house
You might be the ghost
But I'm the one who summons you
When I despair

PRE CHORUS 2
Guess, I'm going I insane
Or am I just daydreaming
But one thing remains
You've given me a purpose and a meaning

CHORUS 2
Can I dream you to life
Need you here by my side
Can you be real
Cos only you really know
What to say to make things glow
And I try to hold you
But my fingers go through
Can you be, oh can you be real

BRIDGE
Can you be
Can you be
Oh, oh, oh, oh, you be
Can you be real

CHORUS 3
How can I make you exist
and give my life a new twist
Or maybe feel just one kiss
Cos only you, only you really know
What to say to make things glow
And I try to hold you
But my fingers go through
Can you be real
