Lyrics

Days, times we will remember
When innocence was lost
We let our hearts move on

So many dreams, we thought would last forever
Today it doesn't matter
All those dreams are gone

They are gone, oooh-oooh-ooooooh

Tell me how it feels again
Oh, show me that it's real and then

I'll walk away, from my own reflection
The stranger that I knew
The stranger that was you

And now I face a cold return to sender
A truce but no surrender
A voice that won't ring true

Where are you? oooh-oooh-ooooooh

I reach over the edge
And throw a penny in the wishing well
It's so deep
That I can tell

That in the real world
There's fewer stars in the sky
And in the real world
You can hear the children cry at night
This is the real world

There is no time, for a life of solitude
Only hunger and survival
In the world we're born into

We're alone, oooh-oooh-ooooooh

And it brings me to my knees
Our father lay me down to sleep
Father please
Pray the lord my soul to keep

Keep us in the real world
Keep us in the real world

Don't have to tell you, in the real world
They'll damn you if you try
In the real world
Let it begin with you and i

Aaah-aaah-aaaaaah

This is the real world
There's fewer stars in the sky
This is the real world
You can hear the children cry at night
Now in the real world
They'll damn you if you try
And in the real world
Let it begin with you and i
Living in the real world
Yeah, living in the real world

Ooooooh oooh-oooh oooh-oooh ooooooh-oooh-ooooooh
Ooooooh ooooooh-oooh ooooooh-ooooooh
Ooooh-oooh ooooooh-oooh
Ooooh-oooh ooooooh-oooh
