Felt Real Enough

Some dreams don’t fade when you wake up… they just leave you with something missing. = Lyrics = - Felt Real Enough Written by Jon David McCoy [Verse 1] I’m sitting here with nothing but the TV light, Another night alone just drifting by. Your name runs through me like it always does, Like something I can’t quite let go of. I swear sometimes I feel you in the room, Like if I turn too fast I’ll lose you. [Verse 2] Then there you are like you’ve always been, Walking through that door again. You don’t say much, you never do, Just that quiet smile I always knew. You lay your head down on my chest, And everything in me just settles in. [Chorus] You feel real enough, I don’t ask why, Don’t need truth when I’ve got this tonight. If this is just a dream, don’t wake me up, I’d rather live here than lose your touch. [Verse 3] You drift off slow like you always do, I run my fingers through your hair. Every breath falls into mine, Like somehow everything aligns. But there’s a moment I can’t ignore, Like I’ve been here somewhere before. [Bridge] I wake up sharp to a buzzing sound, That quiet world just breaking down. I reach for you but there’s nothing there, Just empty space and colder air. I sit up slow, try to catch my breath, Like I just lost something I never had. [Final-Chorus] You felt real enough, I didn’t ask why, Didn’t need truth when I had that night. If it was just a dream, don’t wake me up, I would’ve stayed there just to feel your touch. Now I’m wide awake and there’s nothing there, Just the ghost of you still in the air. Just a dream… Don’t wake me up… Would’ve stayed there… Felt real enough… © 2026 Jon David McCoy. All rights reserved. #originalsong #alternativerock #songwriter #emotionalmusic
