Santa's Real

(albüm: Only Child - 2020)

I used to believe in magical creatures
I'd meet Prince Charming with all the right features
And ride off in the sunset on a horse
But that's before I knew about divorce

When I would go to sleep I'd always say, "Mom
Keep the door open and please leave the light on"
'Cause I thought monsters lived under the bed
But that's before I knew they walk the streets instead

I wanna live in a world
Where people don't get hurt
And everybody's got enough money
Where nobody ever gets sick
Or has to skip a meal
I wanna live in a world where Santa's real

I used to think superheroes existed
If there was smoke in the sky, they'd come fix it
'Cause good guys always won in the end
But that's before I knew it was all pretend

I wanna live in a world
Where people don't get hurt
And everybody's got enough money
Where nobody ever gets sick
Or has to skip a meal
I wanna live in a world where Santa's real

I used to be young and naive
Until I saw things I couldn't unsee

I wanna live in a world
Where people don't get hurt
And everybody's got enough money
Where nobody ever gets sick
Or has to skip a meal
I wanna live in a world
Where things I believed as a kid
Actually exist
And everybody's good to each other
Where nobody ever gets drunk
And gets behind the wheel
I wanna live in a world
Live in a world
I wanna live in a world where Santa's real
