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 thank you 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.
