Real Thing

[Verse 1]

Louder than the rest

You push your way through the crowd

You want your piece of the world

And you need the girl

[Pre-Chorus 1]

The story's still untold

How will the hero unfold?

Dreams you can fly

It isn't real

[Chorus]

You better check yourself and back up, baby

We're locking the doors

I've seen the play before, but hold up

You started the war

Who told you that the feelings are laid out

For you to decide?

You can't have what you can't have, that's right

Cold to survive

[Verse 2]

The party unwinds

The tipsy nod to the door

You're misreading the signs

Crushing cups on the floor

[Pre-Chorus 2]

You follow four steps behind

You think what's hers is mine

Dreams you can fly

It isn't real

[Chorus]

You better check yourself and back up, baby

We're locking the doors

I've seen the play before, but hold up

You started the war

Who told you that the feelings are laid out

For you to decide?

You can't have what you can't have, that's right

Cold to survive

[Chorus]

You better check yourself and back up, baby

We're locking the doors

I've seen the play before, but hold up

You started the war

Who told you that the feelings are laid out

For you to decide?

You can't have what you can't have, that's right

Cold to survive

[Outro]

Oh, it's not yours

It's never yours
