[Verse 1]
Say the words, say the words, I don't wanna hear
Look away, look away, bad things in the mirror
Twist the knife, twist the knife in my back again
Make you cry, make you cry, then you're back again
[Pre-Chorus]
All that we are in a box
On a shelf that we can't climb
To the top, so high
We can't come down
[Chorus]
I don't know where we go from here
When I'm with you, I see so clear
You and I are suicide
But that's just real life
We didn't fall this far to break
Maybe there's beauty in the pain
You and I are suicide, but
That's just real life
[Verse 2]
You said "This hurts too much, I don't wanna stay"
Find a nice rich man, give you everything
But nobody else makes you feel this way
Like a drug, like a drug that you love to take
[Pre-Chorus]
All that we are in a box
On a shelf that we can't climb
To the top, so high
We can't come down
[Chorus]
I don't know where we go from here
When I'm with you, I see so clear
You and I are suicide
But that's just real life
We didn't fall this far to break
Maybe there's beauty in the pain
You and I are suicide, but
That's just real life
[Post-Chorus]
And I would die
If you weren't mine
And I would die
[Chorus]
I don't know where we go from here
When I'm with you, I see so clear
You and I are suicide
But that's just real life
We didn't fall this far to break
Maybe there's beauty in the pain
You and I are suicide, but
That's just real life
That's just real life

Ryan Phillips:
“Real Life” is the sound of four lifelong friends re-lighting the torch and deciding they want to be a full-time band again.
“Real Life” is one of those special songs that just kind of happened. We didn’t sit around for months consciously trying to write a song like this. It just ki...
Dan Marsala:
“Real Life” is a return to form for Story Of The Year. It evokes the same emotion and energy of Page Avenue but with a brand new and exciting feel. It’s a song about the constant struggle of making a relationship work. The ups and downs of being in love. Not every day is full of sunshi...
