Real Life

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] And no, I cannot fix it, no, I cannot make it stop [Chorus] 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?" [Verse 2] 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 (Ooh) 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 [Pre-Chorus] But no, I cannot fix it, and I cannot make it stop [Chorus] 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?" [Bridge] I wish I had the answers Something you could hold to Only thing that's real to me is you [Chorus] "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?" [Outro] Oh, hey (Real life, hey) Real life, real life Oh, hey Real life, real life Oh, hey
