Real

Back when it was good it was real good

Weekends on the beach, weeknights in the neighborhoods

We were young, fine, but in love and so alive

It was us against the world, yeah, and we were gonna shine

And we got along fine, we would talk of twenty five

On that trip to northern Spain we would dream about the Chi

I was for sure a different guy and yeah you were pretty fly

I’m thinkin if we coulda made it we woulda been something inspired

So I guess the reason why, after all the dust has settled,

Isn’t ever gonna cut it, so not even gonna try

After all you’re asking why, askin 'whatchu talkin ''bout' :)

But you shouldn’t have to ask because you know that I am out

Back when it was real it was super real,

Welcome in the sunset we would dance Electric Feel

No Dorthy clickin heels, no sleepin at the wheel

Just a pair of midwest twentysomethings chillin at the rio

This was back when you had sex appeal and I had still felt real

And you didn’t have your mind made up, I didn’t have a deal

Well that devil came acallin and his clock just kept atickin'

And our friends all watched in horror and our parents made us listen;

We never had that Venice trip, was stolen from the Citroen

And overnights to embassies were nothing but a laugh back then;

And After all you’re askin why and asking what I’m talking about..

I wish you didn’t have to love, you know that I am out

Back when it was good it was real good back when it was good it was good it was good
