lyrics

I gotta speak but I dare not say
I ain’t feeling too good about feeling this way
You poured me a drink, but I didn’t think
I could feel so bad staring into a sink

And it’s real, it’s as painful to take
As the sun in your eyes the moment you wake

Well I think I’ll go back down to New Orleans
And sing my song to a singin’ machine
Cause I dream what I am and I think what I’ll be
And I know it ain’t right, but I still wait and see

And it’s real, it’s as painful to take
As the sun in your eyes the moment you wake
I can’t believe the price that you’d pay
Just to see me turn around and walk away

Well yesterday’s gone and today’s just a dream
I wake up in the morning and ask what it means
You answer back hey I wanna know too
But I asked you first is all I say to you

And it’s real, it’s as painful to take
As the sun in your eyes the moment you wake
I can’t believe the price that you’d pay
Just to see me turn around and walk away

So come on let’s go to my house on the beach
Where the moon on the lake is just outta reach
I try to listen to the things that you teach
But babbling bullshit just bores me to sleep

And it’s real, it’s as painful to take
As the sun in your eyes the moment you wake
I can’t believe the price that you’d pay
Just to see me turn around and walk away

Yeah it’s real

Just to see me turn around and walk away
