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, only look me in my eye Can we live that real life, real life? Oh hey Turn your phone off, won’t you look me in my eye? Can we live that real life, real life?
She prays on her knees as 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 I, 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 fake it 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, only look me in my eye Can we live that real life, real life? Oh hey Turn your phone off, won’t you look me in my eye? Can we live that 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, only look me in my eye Can we live that real life, real life? Oh hey Turn your phone off, won’t you look me in my eye? Can we live that real life, real life? Oh hey (Real life, hey) Real life, real life, oh hey Real life, real life, oh hey
