Embracing Youthful Dreams: Real Life in Melodic Moments
Lyrics
My parents are leaving town
Expressing that the speaker's parents are leaving town.
They'll be gone for a week
They will be away for a week.
Don't even wanna drink
The speaker has no desire to drink during this time.
Don't wanna party
Not interested in partying either.
But I was thinking
Despite the above, the speaker has thoughts and plans.
You could come over
Suggesting the idea that the listener could come over.
And kick it with me
Inviting the listener to spend time together.
And we can pass the time
Proposing to pass the time together.
Pretending like we're living in
Engaging in a pretend scenario, escaping reality.
Real life, real life
Repeating the phrase "Real life," emphasizing the theme of the song.
Real life
-Why don't you stick around baby
Asking the listener to stay and be part of the speaker's life.
Do you wanna kiss and miss
Possibly contemplating the idea of intimacy and connection.
The whole plot of the movie
Reflecting on the potential impact of missing out on life's experiences.
We can pretend we're all grown up
Imagining a scenario where both individuals act more mature than their age.
And not just seventeen
Acknowledging their current young age of seventeen.
And dream of truancy and freedom
Dreaming of skipping responsibilities and cherishing freedom.
And where we're gonna be in
Leaving room for future plans and aspirations.
Real life, real life
Repetition of "Real life," emphasizing the desire for authenticity.
Real life
-We haven't even graduated
Noting that they haven't graduated yet.
But I can see us in our eighties
Imagining a long-lasting relationship into their eighties.
Oh I want real life
Expressing the desire for a genuine, authentic life together.
Let's try real life
-Let's pretend I took the kids to school
Creating a fictional scenario of shared responsibilities and moments.
While you slept in a bit
-And we'll slow dance in the living room
-While the caffeine kicks in
-I prayed away the lazy life
Reflecting on the balance between comfort and the desire for more.
'Cause comfortable's a tomb
-So it's crazy how I romanticize
-Doing nothing with you
-But while we still have a chance
Embracing the present moment, suggesting there's time for growing up later.
Let's be kids a little while
-There's plenty time for growing up
-Because you know one day you and I'll be living
Highlighting the anticipation of a future shared life.
Real life, real life
Repetition of "Real life," reinforcing the central theme.
Real life, real life
-Real life, real life
-Real life, real life
-Real life
-We haven't even graduated
Reiterating that they haven't graduated yet.
But I can see us in our eighties
Reaffirming the vision of a lasting relationship into their eighties.
Oh I want real life
Expressing the strong desire for a genuine and authentic life together.
Let's try real life
