“Real Life”

I was young, he was old, we both were the same age
Everyday playin’ fetch, shaking hands, he’d lick my face
and I was unaware the day would come
And when he died, for the first time I knew what real pain was

CHORUS: And I never was the same again
From that moment on, real life began

Senior high, girlfriends, football games, graduation
Summer break, spent my time, fillin’ out applications
A few superficial years went by, they were all a blur
Then in the most unlikely situation, there you were

CHORUS:And I never was the same again
From that moment on, real life began
With you, with you

By your side, scare to death, felt the pain you were fighting
Placed my palm on your head, spoke your name, just keep tryin’
And then you closed you eyes and took one last breath
And when it was over, you looked up, I laid our baby across your breast

Chorus:And I never was the same again
From that moment on, Real Life began
