Real Life Lyrics - Singles - Jeff Carson

I was young, he was old 

An' we both were the same age 

Everyday, playin' fetch 

Shakin' hands, he'd lick my face 

And I was unaware 

The day would come 

An' when he died, for the first time 

I knew what real pain was 

And I never was the same again 

From that moment on, real life began 

Senior high, girlfriends 

Football games, graduation 

Summer break, spend my time 

Fillin' out applications 

A few superficial years went by 

They were all a blur 

And in the most unlikely situation 

There you were, yeah 

And I never was the same again 

From that moment on, real life began 

With you, with you 

By your side, scared to death 

Felt the pain you were fightin' 

Placed my palm on your head 

Spoke your name, just keep tryin' 

An' then you closed your eyes 

An' took one last breath 

And when it was over, you looked up 

Laid our baby across your breast 

And I never was the same again 

From that moment on, real life began
