Mac Miller - Friendly Hallucinations lyrics

Can you hear the whispers of an innocent
Ignorant child?
In the ocean, get to swimmin' or drown
How long has it been since you smiled?
Girl, I love the way your body
Fit inside that gown
Her Mama was a lady bug
Her Papa was an atheist
Workin' on a novel set in Cold War Romania
Chasin' love, idolizin' Joan of Arcadia
Pray the landscapers don't wake her up
I'm a slave to the bass line
Conversation topic got us tangled
In the grape vine still wide awake I'm
A stranger to the daytime
Vampire, higher than a hang glider
Look around and all I see is gray skies
There's help inside that medicine cabinet
Came in for the answers
But she left with a habit
There's no one on the other
End of that telephone
Lets fall asleep to the metronome, yeah

She's fallin' for her hallucinations
But what's love without imagination? yeah
Baby, don't let them tell you
What's real and what's not
There's a paradise waiting on the
Other side of the dock, woah
It's only real if it's real to you
(Does it feel?)
It's only real if it's real to you
It's only real if it's real to you
(Is it real? Said, what's it feel like?)

Yeah tell me
Is it real if you can't hold it in your arms
But it can touch you?
Feel it's texture pressin' up
Against your chest you say, "I love you"
(You don't hear it back)
Fallin' victim to a world
That's filled with satire
Mark Twain admired open Tom Sawyer
Read a passage to the cab driver
She only in the back seat
Of a taxi 'cause her
Car is in the shop with a flat tire
Mom says she believe her
But she always been a bad liar
Had a plan to burn her past, but it backfired
Hold on and be strong, kneel before your king
The land you put your knees on
It won't be long 'til your path finds ya
And if love is just a fantasy
Then what's the problem if you
Fall in love with fantasy?
(They assume she's confused with
Delusions she's creatin')
In the waitin' room
For psychiatric evaluation
She doesn't have the patience to
Be treated like a patient
It'll be okay, if she just swallow this pill

Fallin' for her hallucinations
What's love without imagination? yeah
Baby, don't let them tell you
What's real and what's not
There's a paradise waiting on the
Other side of the dock, woah
It's only real if it's real to you
It's only real if it's real to you
It's only real if it's real to you
(Yes, yes, y'all)

Havin' conversations
With friendly hallucinations
I'll be havin' conversations
With friendly hallucinations
They don't need no explanation
There is beauty in creation my Lord
Havin' conversations
With friendly hallucinations
I'll be havin' conversations
With friendly hallucinations
They don't need no explanation
There is beauty in creation my Lord
My Lord

Fallin' for her hallucinations
What's love without imagination? yeah
Baby, don't let them tell you
What's real and what's not
There's a paradise waiting on the
Other side of the dock, woah
It's only real if it's real to you
It's only real if it's real to you
It's only real if it's real to you
