Jeff Carson Real Life Lyrics

Real Life Lyrics

I was young
He was old
We both were the same age
Every day
Playing
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

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

Senior high
Girlfriends
Football games, graduation
Summer
break
Spend my time
Filling out applications

A few superficial
years went by
they were all a blur
And in the most unlikely
situation
there you were
Yeah
And I never was the same again
From
that moment on real life began
with you
with you

By your
side
Scared to death
Felt the pain
you were fighting
placed my palm
on your head
spoke your name
"Just keep trying"

Then you closed
your eyes
and took one last breath
and when it was over
you looked
up
I laid our baby across your breast

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