Real Life

Everybody cares
Everybody listens when they're scared
Makin' their lists
Makin' a fist without you here
Even if we can
Even if we don't quite understand
Only you know me
No one else knows dick about me

I, I'm so inclined to come by
Anytime a glass of wine
Can set us straight
It's a date
It's a real life

These are big shoes
And they feel raw and slightly used
Walk them on down
To the edge of this desolated town
Back up the bus
It's a lonely world but what's the fuss
I think about my dad
He never wanted the son you're looking at

I'm so inclined to come by
Anytime a glass of wine
Can set us straight
It's a date
It's a real life

Humbled by the rush
This clock is set too fast for us
Slow it on down
I realize we all end up in the ground
A surprising task
Procreation, it kicks me in the ass
So here I go
I'm packin' only love down this one-way road

I'm so inclined to come by
Anytime a glass of wine
Can set us straight
It's a date
It's a real life
A real life
Real (real) life
