Real Life Lyrics

She says that the world is a broken mess

And it's always on her mind

She cries at the news

When the shots ring out

Oh, every single time

And no, I cannot fix it

No, I cannot make it stop

So I said, "Hey, turn your phone off,

Won't you look me in my eye?

Can't we live that real life, real life?"

Oh, "Hey, turn your phone off

Won't you look me in my eye?

Can't we live that real life, real life?"

She prays on her knees as the towers fall

To a god she does not know

She's begging him to stop the mess

As the Boston bombs will blow

She says, "How could I

Ever believe in something

That would step aside and watch?"

And I got no words to say

'Cause I think I lost my faith

But I fake it for the day

Oh, everything will be okay

But no, I cannot fix it

No, I cannot make it stop

So I said, "Hey, turn your phone off,

Won't you look me in my eye?

Can't we live that real life, real life?"

Oh, "Hey, turn your phone off

Won't you look me in my eye?

Can't we live that real life, real life?"

I wish I had the answers

Something you could hold to

Only thing that's real to me is you...

"Turn your phone off

Won't you look me in my eye?

Can't we live that real life, real life?"

Oh, "Hey, turn your phone off

Won't you look me in my eye?

Can't we live that real life, real life?"

Oh, hey

Real life, hey

Real life, real life

Oh, hey

Real life, real life

Oh, hey...
