Early morning flight, 6AM
My body is weak but my soul is alive and dancing
Sometimes I love this life, sometimes I hope it never ends
I pull the shade down tight, and wait for reality to set in

CHORUS
So why get real
When reality feels like the world is crashing around me
And what is love
It's just a measure of my faith in how I feel

Haven't slept in days
Haven't heard this song in weeks
I'll be faithful through the years
I left a lover in Nashville, met her back in New Orleans
But I hold tight to the memories
Hold tight to the spirit that keeps me here
I pull the shade down tight, and wait for reality to set in

CHORUS

(instrumental)

CHORUSx2

In what I feel
In what I feel
So why get real
Why get real
Why get real
Cuz what I feel is real
So why get real
Oh, yeah
Why get real
Oh, yeah
