Lyrics of Real Life by Imagine Dragons
verse
She says that the world is a broken mess
And it's always on her mind
verse
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
She prays on her knees as the towers fall
To a God she does not know
verse
She's begging Him to stop the mess
As the Boston bombs will blow
verse
She says, "How can I ever believe
In something that would step aside and watch?"
verse
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
The 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?
Oh, hey
(Real life)
outro
Real life, real life, oh, hey
outro
Real life, real life, oh, hey
