Based on Real Life Lyrics by Courtney Jones

Awake & Dreaming

2008

[Verse 1]
I didn't hear a word that you say
('Cause it's too familiar)
Everything is lost in cliche
And you're going under
[Verse 2]
'Cause every conversation's a scene
(Every little thing a set piece)
In terms of drama, you're queen
And watch too much TV
[Chorus]
Stop wasting my time
Standing in the spotlight
It's all in your mind
You're based on real life
Stop wasting my time
Standing in the spotlight
It's all in your mind
You're based on real life
[Verse 3]
I didn't have a thing that you want
And you're still here with me
I try to talk you down but I can't
Cause you're struggling with gravity
[Chorus]
Stop wasting my time
Standing in the spotlight
It's all in your mind
You're based on real life
Stop wasting my time
Standing in the spotlight
It's all in your mind
You're based on real life
[Bridge]
I wish that you would come down
'Cause all this it, can't be right
It's not that bad on the ground
But you say you'll be here all night
[Verse 4]
I didn't have the patience to stay
When you're not acting your age
Wouldn't want to stand in your way
(So I'll just be backstage)
[Chorus]
Stop wasting my time
Standing in the spotlight
It's all in your mind
You're based on real life
Stop wasting my time
Standing in the spotlight
It's all in your mind
You're based on real life
[Outro]
Based on real life
You're based on real life
You're based on real life
Based on real life
(Someone who knows what they're doing)
(I'm really not that clever)
(I like the idea of people)
(Someone who knows what they're doing)
