[Verse 1: Mac Miller]
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

[Chorus: Mac Miller, Mac Miller & SZA]
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?)
[Verse 2: Mac Miller]
Yeah
Tell me, is it real if you can't hold it in your arms
But it can touch you?
Feel its 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

[Chorus: Mac Miller, Mac Miller & SZA]
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)
[Bridge: Mac Miller, Mac Miller & SZA, SZA]
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

[Outro: Mac Miller, Mac Miller & SZA]
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
