All American Rejects - The Real World

The Real World

I woke up on this side, I thought it was a dream
At first we learned the walk, then learned to scream
You don't understand, it's a place you can't believe
And you can't see the things that I can see

But I forget,
That you think I'm afraid
Somethings just never stay
And we'll all just slip away

This can be the real world now
I don't believe it, that I can see that soon
Welcome to the real world now
And I don't want to believe that it's a place for you
And I,
I hope you think it's tragic
'Cause I know
This can be the real world now
No no
No oh

Look out the window at a sky that doesn't care
I look up for the sun but it's not there
The rivers flood and the ground beneath me shakes
Turn your eyes, I bet you hope that window breaks,
You hope it breaks

But still I know,
That you can make the change
Somethings just never stay
And we all just slip away

This can be the real world now
I don't believe it, that I can see that soon
Welcome to the real world now
You try to wind your watch, but we're all running out of time
I hope you think it's tragic
'Cause I know
This can be the real world now
No no
No oh
This can be the real world now
No no
No oh

Just as soon that you see that it's not the way that it should be
You'll understand, just for the first time
As fake as it seems, that we all share in this disease
So are the damned, just for the last time

This can be the real world now
I don't believe it, that I can see that soon
Welcome to the real world now
You try to wind your watch, but we're all running out of time
I hope you think it's tragic
'Cause I know
This can be the real world now
No no
No oh
This can be the real world now
No no
No oh
This can be the real world now
No no
No oh
This can be the real world now
No no
No oh
