REALiTi (Demo) Lyrics

[Verse]
When we were young, we used to live so close to it
And we were scared and you were beautiful
I wanna peer over the edge and see in death
If we are always the same

[Interlude]
Oh, I fear that no life will ever be like it again
'Cause your love kept me alive and it made me insane, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
There were momеnts when it seemed okay
(But I go back alone)
So do you start or whеre do you stay?
(I go back alone)
There was a time when the music would play
Oh

[Chorus]
Oh, baby, every morning there are mountains to climb
Taking all my time
Oh, when I get up this is what I see
Welcome to reality
Oh, baby, every morning there are mountains to climb
Taking all my time
Oh, when I get up this is what I see
Welcome to reality
[Verse]
When we were young, we used to live so close to it
And we were scared and you were beautiful
I wanna peer over the edge and see in death
If we are always the same, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
There were moments when it seemed okay
(But I go back alone)
So do you start or where do you stay?
(I go back alone)
Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh

[Chorus]
Oh, baby, every morning there are mountains to climb
Taking all my time
Oh, when I get up this is what I see
Welcome to reality
Oh, baby, every morning there are mountains to climb
(Oh, baby, every) Taking all my time
Oh, when I get up this is what I see
Welcome to reality
To reality

[Outro]
Oh, baby, every (Give me a sign)
Oh, baby, every (Give me a sign)
Oh, baby, every (Give me a sign)
Oh, baby, every (Give me a sign)
Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh (Give me a sign)
Oh, baby, every (Give me a sign)
Oh, baby, every (Give me a sign)
Oh, baby, every
Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh, baby, every
Oh, baby, every (Give me a sign)
Oh, baby, every

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
