She says that the world is a broken mess
~#**************#~
And its 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, wont you look me in my eye?
~#**************#~
Cant we live that real life, real life?”
~#**************#~
Oh, “Hey, turn your phone off, wont you look me in my eye?
~#**************#~
Cant 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
~#**************#~
Shes 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, wont you look me in my eye?
~#**************#~
Cant we live that real life, real life?”
~#**************#~
Oh, “Hey, turn your phone off, wont you look me in my eye?
~#**************#~
Cant we live that real life, real life?”
~#**************#~
[Bridge]
~#**************#~
I wish I had the answers
~#**************#~
Something you could hold to
~#**************#~
Only thing thats real to me is you
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
“Turn your phone off, wont you look me in my eye?
~#**************#~
Cant we live that real life, real life?”
~#**************#~
Oh, “Hey, turn your phone off, wont you look me in my eye?
~#**************#~
Cant 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
