It’s Real!

[Verse 1]
We can't escape
We can't push our problems all down the drain
We dream until they're gone and then they're here to stay
And I could try to run, don't wanna complicate
This matter 'cause there's nowhere left to hide
There's nowhere left to hide

[Verse 2]
People in every state
The happiness-depression pendulum will stay
Swinging back and forth, we cannot concentrate
We close our eyes tomorrow, it'll be the same
But that's just how we try to disappear
We fear, we fear
Maybe none of this is real

[Chorus]
It's real
Don't wanna sound dramatic but I need to feel
Like I could dance these fears right out the window, dear
We're always moving backwards as we say
We say, "Why do we live this way?"
It's real
Don't wanna sound dramatic but I need to feel
(Why do we live this way?)
Like I could dance these fears right out the window, dear
We're always moving backwards as we say
We say, "Why do we live this way?"

[Verse 3]
We can't relate
Every time I come around I feel the weight
Livin' that picture perfect life, go on and demonstrate
You're always on the run, don't wanna complicate
This matter 'cause there's no way I could find a place for me
To cry away the pain, the doubt, the greed
I'm feeling all this weight, I can't believe
There's nowhere left to hideout
And that's just how I try to disappear
I fear, I fear
Maybe none of this is real

[Chorus]
It's real
Don't wanna sound dramatic but I need to feel
Like I could dance these fears right out the window, dear
We're always moving backwards as we say
We say, "Why do we live this way?"
It's real
Don't wanna sound dramatic but I need to feel
(Why do we live this way?)
Like I could dance these fears right out the window, dear
We're always moving backwards as we say
We say, "Why do we live this way?"

[Bridge]
Why do we live this way?
Why do we live this way?
Why do we live this way?
Why do we—
Why do we—
Why do we—

[Chorus]
Real, it's real
Don't wanna sound dramatic but I need to feel
(Why do we live this way?)
Like I could dance these fears right out the window, dear
We're always moving backwards as we say
We say, "Why do we live this way?"
