Real Life

She says that the world is a broken mess

It's always on her mind

She cries at the news when the shots ring out

Every single time

And no, I cannot fix it

No, I cannot make it stop

So I said turn your phone off, only look me in my eye

Can we live that real life, real life?

Oh yeah, turn your phone off, only look me in my eye

Can we live that real life, real life?

Prays on her knees as the towers fall

To a God she does not know

She's beggin' him to stop the mess

As the Boston bombs 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 thank you for the day when everything will be okay

But no, I cannot fix it

And I cannot not make it stop

So I said turn your phone off, only look me in my eye

Can we live that real life, real life?

Oh yeah, turn your phone off, only look me in my eye

Can we live that real life, real life?

I wish I had the answers

Something you could hold too

Only thing that's real to me is you

Turn your phone off, only look me in my eye

Can we live that real life, real life?

Oh yeah, turn your phone off, only look me in my eye

Can we live that real life, real life?

Oh hey, real life, hey

Real life, real life, oh hey

Real life, real life, oh hey
