Lyrically, “Real Life” is about getting past your shyness and complacency to take risks in your life because otherwise, you haven’t really lived. Sonically, it is a rock song with alternative influences.
[Verse 1]
You can bathe in a sea of so close and failure
Let the bitterness soak in
You can stand around and wait for your savior
But your patience will wear thin
Dreams are fun, but they belong to the night
Along with all your sin
So come with me, let’s walk through the dark
And let real life begin
[Chorus]
Say it now
You want a real life
Say it now
You want a real life
[Verse 2]
Keep the story safe as you’re moving slowly
Let the fresh air pass you by
Life’s a kind of predator
All that you live or you’re gonna die
You can hang to the side of the swimming pool
But sometime you’ve got to swim
So come with me, let’s go to the deep
And let real life begin
[Chorus]
Say it now
You want a real life
Say it now
You want a real life
Say it now
You want a real life
Say it now
You want a real life
[Bridge]
Real life if you do what’s right
Come and follow me, I’ll take you into the night
You want a real life, you’d better put up a fight
You can follow me, I’ll take you into the night
[Chorus]
Say it now
You want a real life
Say it now
You want a real life
Say it now
You want a real life
Say it now
You want a real life
Say it now
You want a real life
Say it now
You want a real life
