Real Life Songtext
von Josh Radnor

Real life, it keeps coming, it keeps coming
Sunshine, I could use some, I could use some
Rays of hope and clarity
Hold me, in the darkness of my lostness
Hear me shout into the
Scream into the void
Where the dead go to dream
I′ll keep running, I'll keep running
You stay where you are
No you start running, if we′re both running
We won't get very far

I will call upon the mystical, the magical
The fanciful, illogical, and pray
I will open up to mythic maps and miracles
To holy words that frightened people say


Bad dreams, in our beds and in our heads
We worry, we take the blues, we take the reds
But still we can sleep through the night
Someday... can we even use that word
I'm afraid, if all the things I overheard are true
Then I just wanna hide
Doubts are gnawing, tears are falling on this judgment day
Fortunes falling, fortunes calling me another way

I will call upon the mystical, the magical
The fanciful, illogical, and pray
I will open up to mythic maps and miracles
To holy words that frightened people say
Only mystery is big enough to meet us
To forgive us, and to heal us today

There′s too much out of our hands in this desecrated land
Thousands going into the ground
Can this boat be turned around
All this poison politics
These hypocrites and heretics
Worse than mediocrities
They′re a swarm of killer bees
Where oh where did we go wrong
Can anything be healed with a song
How much more can we all take
How long until our hearts'll break open
For good, For good, For good good good good good


I will call upon the mystical, the magical
The fanciful, illogical, and pray
I will open up to mythic maps and miracles
To holy words that frightened people say
Only mystery is big enough to meet us
To forgive us and to heal us
