I fell asleep with the television on
I missed all of your phone calls
And slept through the alarm
Am I late? Am I too late to see you?
Are you mad I didn't get to meet you?
With a phone in your pocket and holes in your shoes
You went to Monterey without a boy to sing to you
You always said, "This is where I want to
Live my life, with or without you"
And I'm not gone
You just make it hard to talk
I had a dream that I rose from the dead
And all my fears were flower pedals on my bed
And the wind lifted them off me
As a man spoke to me sofly
He said he lived in a town who washed all their clothes
In a public river with blood dripping from there toes
Are you strong? Have you come here to save me?
I said, "Are you real?" He said, "I'm as real as you make me"
(Bum-bum-badum-bum) Clap your heels when you can
(Bum-bum-badum-bum) Just don't thrive on being sad
(Bum-bum-badum-bum) Admit when you've done your wrongs
(Bum-bum-badum-bum) And you know I've done a lot
(Bum-bum-badum-bum) I'm so sorry that I left
(Bum-bum-badum-bum) Before I told you what you meant
(Bum-bum-badum-bum) Tell your family I said hi
(Bum-bum-badum-bum) I hope they're doing fine
I just wanted to say I hope you're okay
And I hope everything worked itself out along the way
You are strong, because you were there to save me
You are real, yeah, you're as real as you made me
