lyrics

Verse 1.
Pull me in from farthest reaches
With an open hand
Let me hear your words of peace
To make me whole again
Taking time reflecting over
The years that I’ve spent
I always felt invincible
With you to shield my head
Twilight dances on the water
As I put on a front
Unravelling within my frame
As people just walk on

Chorus.
If I only I had you
A chance to hold onto
One last time
I swear I’d live up to
Give myself up to you
Break all ties
But this is real life (and it goes to fast)
It’s real life
But this is real life (and it don’t last)
It’s real life

Verse 2.
The world moves on at such a pace
I can barely track
Where’s the time gone since the days
You always had my back
Chemtrails point out to horizons
Some place we’ll meet again
I pray to God you’ll remember me
So we can start again

Chorus.
If I only I had you
A chance to hold onto
One last time
I swear I’d live up to
Give myself up to you
Break all ties
But this is real life (it’s all too real)
It’s real life
But this is real life (It’s a spin of the wheel)
It’s real life
(Repeat Chorus)
