The Real World Lyrics by Casey Likes, Solea Pfeiffer, Original Broadway Cast of Almost Famous

Almost Famous - The Musical (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2023

[ PENNY: ]
The real world is calling me
Telling me what I already know
So I’m heading back home, I guess
And you just got here
But I need to go

The real world is testing me
To see if I might take the bait
In cashing those dreams I had
But I won’t bet on dreams
I bet on fate

I joined the circus
To find a new skin
To celebrate the crime
Of not fitting in
I came for the music and the
Thirty-thousand-foot view
That shows us what one song can do

So real world, go on
Take your best shot
Last night you gave me
All that you’ve got
I’m not what you think you see
I am nerves and fear
But I’ve never felt more free

The real world astounds me
Tears that float on skies of blue
Happy, sad, that’s the real world
The real world
The real world that gave me you

Will you come find me in the real world?

[ WILLIAM: ]
Ask me again

[ PENNY: ]
Will you come find me in the real world?

The real world

[ BOTH: ]
The real world

[ PENNY (WILLIAM): ]
Come find me in the real world
I’ll be out there in the real world (The real world)
So will you come find me in the real world?
The real world (The real world)
The real world
