Real Thing
Louder than the rest
You push your way through the crowd
You want your piece of the world
And you need the girl
The story's still untold
How will the hero unfold?
In dreams you can fly
It isn't real
You better check yourself and back up, baby
We're locking the doors
I've seen the play before but hold up
You started the war
Who told you that the feelings are laid out?
You would decide
You can't have what you can't have, that's right
Cold to survive
The party unwinds
The tipsy nod to the door
You're misreading the signs
Crushing cups on the floor
You follow four steps behind
You think what's hers is mine
In dreams you can fly
It isn't real
You better check yourself and back up, baby
We're locking the doors
I've seen the play before but hold up
You started the war
Who told you that the feelings are laid out?
You would decide
You can't have what you can't have, that's right
Cold to survive
You better check yourself and back up, baby
'Cause we're locking the doors
I've seen the play before but hold up
You started the war
Who told you that the feelings are laid out?
You would decide
You can't have what you can't have, that's right
Cold to survive
It's not yours, it's never yours
You push your way through the crowd
You want your piece of the world
And you need the girl
The story's still untold
How will the hero unfold?
In dreams you can fly
It isn't real
You better check yourself and back up, baby
We're locking the doors
I've seen the play before but hold up
You started the war
Who told you that the feelings are laid out?
You would decide
You can't have what you can't have, that's right
Cold to survive
The party unwinds
The tipsy nod to the door
You're misreading the signs
Crushing cups on the floor
You follow four steps behind
You think what's hers is mine
In dreams you can fly
It isn't real
You better check yourself and back up, baby
We're locking the doors
I've seen the play before but hold up
You started the war
Who told you that the feelings are laid out?
You would decide
You can't have what you can't have, that's right
Cold to survive
You better check yourself and back up, baby
'Cause we're locking the doors
I've seen the play before but hold up
You started the war
Who told you that the feelings are laid out?
You would decide
You can't have what you can't have, that's right
Cold to survive
It's not yours, it's never yours
