Surreal (So Real)
Backstory
A love song to Carly Rae Jepsen. In 2015 I got a copy of her amazing new album E-mo-tion and it literally blew my mind - I played it on constant repeat for weeks. In the end I really wished I could thank her somehow... give her something back. What is the biggest compliment I could pay her? What might catch her eye? My mind started spinning. I could write her a song! How would I contact her? Record the song and send it to her! What if she liked the song wanted to record it with me?! Now we see!
Lyrics
(ooh-ooh) (ooh-ooh) (ooh-ooh) (ooh-ooh) I saw you years ago You really stole the show And it was such a lucky break I felt my world begin to shake So juicy like a peach Up high and hard to reach I had to find the hidden clue Some simple way to get to you. Even though you seem so far away These days we can connect and find a way... It's just too good to be true I can't believe I can share this with you It's too good to be true I know what I feel It feels so real And I heard what you said, Now I can't get you out of my head. You know you won a fan Who really understands And knows that love is what we share I want to show how much I care You really blew my mind I never thought I'd find That you were such a part of me Just how great our love could be. I really had to tell you how I feel And now the truth is out, it's so surreal... It's just too good to be true I can't believe I can share this with you It's too good to be true I know what I feel It feels so real And I heard what you said, Now I can't get you out of my head. All I want to do is hold you All I want to do is heal you All I want to do is know you All I want to do is feel you... feel... So can you sing with me And share a harmony And as I'm lying in your arms The words you whisper keep me calm It isn't complicated Nothing to hesitate at Always together in our hearts It's like we've never been apart. Feeling the E-mo-tion is the key Our love shows how amazing we can be... It's just too good to be true I can't believe I can share this with you It's too good to be true I know what I feel It feels so real And I heard what you said, Now I can't get you out of my head. It's just too good to be true I can't believe I can share this with you It's too good to be true I know what I feel It feels so real And I heard what you said, Now I can't get you out of my head. (ooh-ooh)
