Real Lyrics by Melissa Ferrick

Goodbye Youth

0

Watchin all my friends
Laugh at everything you say
Falling at your feet
Like you are a God
Like you are a God

And I got in here through the side door
Watchin it all go down like a fly on the wall
I'm just searchin for signs of life here
Underneath it all

Thinkin' to myself
Where? Where did real go?
I mean how long has it been?
Since you have felt like a part of
And not the friend
That everyone claims they are friends with
I mean how long has it been?

Cause you to me are like a cutout
Technicolor form crazy kid
You got everybody around you movin
You seem content to sit there
Watch us all spin

Thinkin' to yourself
Where? Where did real go?
Round here
I mean how long has it been
Since you have felt like a part of
And not the friend
That everybody claims they are friends with
I mean how long has it been?

Ohhhh Wa Do do do do do do do do
Mmmmm mmmm mmmm

In you arms a dreamer
Who needs everything from you
And in your eyes I can see no distance
At all between the two of you

I thought to myself...
Here it is...here is real now
I mean I'm lookin right at it
From this wall
And the truth is that in her presence
Everything else just falls
