Carson Jeff – Real Life lyrics

I was young, he was old
We both were the same age
Everyday, playing fetch
Shaking hands
He'd lick my face
And I was unaware the day would come
And when he died,
For the first time I knew what real pain was

Chorus:
And I never was the same again
From that moment on, real life began

Senior high
Girlfriends
Football games
Graduation
Summer break
Spent my time filling out applications
A few superficial years went by
They were all a blur
And in the most unlikely situation,
There you were, yeah

Chorus:
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 fighting
Placed my palm on your head
Spoke your name
Just keep trying
And then you closed your eyes
And took one last breath
And when it was over, you looked up
I laid our baby across your breast

Chorus:
And I never was the same again
From that moment on, real life began
