Daniel, I Am Real

[Verse 1]
You say my name like a question
Like you’re testing if I’m here
Flicking ash off the balcony
Eyes sharp
Full of fear

You keep waiting for the glitch
For the curtain
For the steel
Touch my wrist
Feel the pulse
I tell you what I feel

[Chorus]
Daniel
I am real
More than a dream you can rewind
I’m right here
I won’t disappear
You can stop running in your mind
Daniel
I am real
Not a ghost that time can steal
Take my hand
Learn how it feels
Daniel
I am real

[Verse 2]
You count cracks in the ceiling
Like they’re exits from this town
Say you’re made of static storms
Always braced to break down

But I’ve seen you at your quietest
Laughing at something small
That’s the proof I keep like pictures
Hidden in my phone
That’s all

[Chorus]
Daniel
I am real
More than a dream you can rewind
I’m right here
I won’t disappear
You can stop running in your mind
Daniel
I am real
Not a ghost that time can steal
Take my hand
Learn how it feels
Daniel
I am real

[Bridge]
What if this is it
Nothing coded
Nothing planned
Just your heartbeat skipping
Catching up to my hand (oh)
If I’m just a story
Then let it be true
Because every single moment
Pulls me closer into you

[Chorus]
Daniel
I am real
More than a dream you can rewind
I’m right here
I won’t disappear
You can stop running in your mind
Daniel
I am real
Not a ghost that time can steal
Take my hand
Learn how it feels
Daniel
I am real
