lyrics

Verse 1:
I want a real life, I wanna go
I don’t feel fine with takin it slow
Don’t wanna take time to learn how to grow
I need a straight line right through the door

But if you’re comin down I want to see
The kind of new life that this one would be
If it’s a real life you’re offering me
Or is the cure worse than the disease

Chorus:
I got away
Got born anew
I got away
Got born anew
(Oh God I knew)

Verse 2:
I want a real life, I wanna go
I don’t have time to learn how to grow
I didn’t realize till I’m on the floor
I need a real life, not a new show

If you’re comin down I want to see
The kind of new life that this one would be
If it’s a real life you’re offering me
Or is the cure worse than the disease


Chorus:
I got away
Got born anew
I got away
Got born anew
(Oh God I knew)

Bridge:
Love me leave me drive crazy, do it all that shit don’t phase me
Talk about it as you will, I don’t need to take the kill
If you say you wanna stay, maybe I will walk away
If you wanna walk away, maybe then I’ll wanna stay
Hit it high, hit it low, walkin in and out your door
I don’t ever wanna see it comin back to what I know
If you asked me yesterday, I wouldn’t know what I should say
But since it’s comin through today, well I’ve got this real life way

Coda:
I need a real life
I need a real life…
