The Real Thing Lyrics

Driving down a broken road

The same one that she's traveled down before

But she don't know which way to go

And it's all she's known

She's praying for an answer

She's finally asked the question

She's looking for a better way

She's looking for a getaway

This old town is all she's known

With broken loves and broken homes

At night she dreams of life on her own

And in her dreams

She's running like a river

Chasing after wildfires

She's looking for a feeling

Something to believe in

She's tired of waiting so long

She's tired of being so strong

She's looking for a feeling

She's looking for the real thing

Sometimes your life is just what you're shown

And it's hard to break away from the things you've known

But if there's fire in your heart that won't go away

It's the light from that flame that shows the way

I'm wasting love she said

And I'm wasting time

I want to get out tonight

And find what's mine

She's running like a river

Chasing after wildfires

She's looking for a feeling

Something to believe in

She's tired of waiting so long

She's tired of being so strong

She's looking for a feeling

She's looking for the real thing

Late night traffic light

Which way will she go

Turn left or turn right into the unknown

Deep breath hit the gas

It's into the night and she's gone

She's running like a river

Chasing after wildfires

She's looking for a feeling

Something to believe in

She's tired of waiting so long

She's only wants to belong

She's looking for a feeling

She's looking for the real thing

She only wants the real thing

She only wants the real thing

She only needs the real thing

I only need the real thing
