I woke up on this side
I thought it was a dream
At first we learned to walk
Then learned to scream
You can't understand
It's a place you can't believe
You can't see the things that I can see
But I forget (forget)
That you thank God and pray (God and pray)
Some things just never stay (never stay)
And we all just slip away (away)
This can't be the real world now
I don't believe it
When I can't see that soon
Welcome to the real world now
And I don't want to believe that it's a place for you and I
I hope you think's tragic
'Cause I know
This can't be the real world now
Oh-no-no
Oh-no-oh
Look out the window at a sky that doesn't care (care)
I look up for the sun but it's there (there)
The rivers flood and the ground beneath me shakes
Turn your eyes, I bet you hope that window breaks
You hope it breaks
But still don't know (know)
That you can make the change (the change)
Some things just never stay (never stay)
And we all just slip away (away)
This can't be the real world now
I don't believe it
And I can't see that soon
Welcome to the real world now
You try to wind your watch but we're all running out of time
I hope you think it's tragic
'Cause I know
This can't be the real world now
Oh-no-no
No-oh-oh
This can't be the real world now
No-no
No-oh-oh
Just as soon as you see (as you see)
It's not the way that it should be, you'll understand (the way that it should be)
And for the first time
As fake as it seems, we're all sharing this disease
So we're the damn, just for the last time
This can't be the real world now
I don't believe it
And I can't see that soon
Welcome to the real world now
You try to wind your watch but we're all running out of time
I hope you think it's tragic
'Cause I know
This can't be the real world now
Oh-no-no
Oh-no-oh
This can't be the real world now
Oh-no-no
Oh-no-oh
This can't be the real world now
Oh-no-no
Oh-no-oh
This can't be the real world now
Oh-no-no
Oh-no-oh
