| 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, and only look me in my eye
|
| Can we live in real life, real life? |
| Oh hey
|
| Turn your phone off, won't you look me in my eye?
|
| Can we live in real life, real life?
|
| Prays on her knees since the towers' fall
|
| To a god she does not know
|
| She's beggin' him to stop the mess
|
| As the Boston bombs blow (Ooh)
|
| She says, "How could, oh, ever believe
|
| In somethin' 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
|
| And I cannot make it stop
|
| So I said...
|
| Turn your phone off, and only look me in my eye
|
| Can we live in real life, real life? |
| Oh hey
|
| Turn your phone off, won't you look me in my eye?
|
| Can we live in real life, real life?
|
| I wish I had the answers
|
| Something you could hold to
|
| The only thing that's real to me is
|
| You
|
| Turn your phone off, and only look me in my eye
|
| Can we live in real life, real life? |
| Oh hey
|
| Turn your phone off, won't you look me in my eye?
|
| Can we live in real life, real life? |
| Oh hey
|
| (Real life, hey)
|
| Real life, real life, oh hey
|
| Real life, real life, oh hey |
