You Make It Real – James Morrison

Tonight it’s David Gray performing at The Orpheum in Minneapolis. And I’ll write a short review post on his show tomorrow.

But this song deserves a little blog time. James Morrison seems to have a very Gavin DeGraw quality to his voice and there are a good number of tracks on his CD, “Songs for you, truths for me,” that I enjoy.

Lyrics:

There’s so much craziness, surrounding me
There’s so much going on, it gets hard to breathe
When all my faith has gone, you bring it back to me
You make it real for me

When I’m not sure of, my priorities
When I’ve lost site of, of where I’m meant to be
Like holy water, washing over me
You make it real for me

And I’m running to you baby
You are the only one who’ll save me
That’s why I’ve been missing you lately
Cause you make it real for me

When my head is strong but my heart is weak
I’m full of arrogance and uncertainty
When I can’t find the words you teach my heart to speak
You make it real for me, yeah

And I’m running to you baby
Cause you are the only one who’ll save me
That’s why I’ve been missing you lately
Cause you make it real for me

Everybody’s talking in words I don’t understand
You got to be the only one who knows just who I am
Your shining in the distance I hope I can make it through
Cause the only place that I want to be
Is right back home with you

I guess there’s so much more I have to learn
But if you’re here with me I know which way to turn
You always give me somewhere, somewhere I can run
You make it real for me

And I’m running to you baby
Cause you are the only one who saved me
That’s why I’ve been missing you lately
Cause you make it real for me

You make it real for me
