Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've seen sunsets and I've seen rain
I've known heartbreak and I've known fame
I've seen shit that'd make an atheist believe
But that's not enough evidence for me
I've heard thunder that sounds like pain
Thousands of voices screaming my name
I've seen shit that'd make an atheist believe
But that's not enough evidence for me
[Chorus]
Started to feel like everything was fabricated
You came along and then you gave me confirmation
Your love is so unreal it must be something science-fiction
Babe, oh babe
And that's proof enough for me
[Post-Chorus]
That's proof enough for me, oh babe (Yeah)
[Verse 2]
I've seen movies and I've seen shows
But nothing compares to what I call home
I've seen cameras fall out of the sky
But I never once thought my life was a lie
And I've seen some shit that got me all suspicious
Your words are so sweet they sound like they're so scripted
I've seen shit that'd make an atheist believe
But that's not enough evidence for me
[Chorus]
Started to feel like everything was fabricated
You came along and then you gave me confirmation
Your love is so unreal it must be something science-fiction
Babe, oh babe
And that's proof enough for me
[Post-Chorus]
That's proof enough for me, oh babe (Yeah, yeah)
And that's proof enough for me
That's proof enough for me, oh babe (Yeah, yeah)
[Outro]
Was that correct?
Trivia
- Similar to Dear Society, there is an "easter egg" at the end of the song where Beer says "Was that correct?". It is heard the clearest in the demo verisons.
