no, don't you go and open up your eyes
you'll only see that you're out of time
and it's better to be caught in a dream

living a beautiful lie
it's gonna hit you like a heart attack
once you find out there's no turning back

you spend all of these years
to end up right here
but where are you at


just stand up
if you think you're lost

no you're really not
can't you see we all are
right here in the same spot

now things are gonna get better today
so let me hear you say


welcome to real world
(woah)
welcome to the real world

(now things are gonna get better today
so let me hear you say)
welcome to the real world


i read an article today online
it's the worst it's the best at times

holding on to let go & out the window
the world is just passing you by


don't want to hear that its all gone wrong
just cause the star that you wished upon
is falling out of the sky

you know that's life it happens c'mon

just stand up if you think you're lost

no you're really not

can't you see we all are

right here in the same spot
now things are gonna get better today
so let me hear you say


welcome to real world
(woah)

welcome to the real world
(now things are gonna get better today
so let me hear you say)


so when it feels like they're pulling you under
and you can't breathe

don't have to wonder
it's so easy if you just listen to me
(hey yeah yeah)


(if you just listen to me)


and now it's time for you to open up your eyes

welcome to real world

(woah)
welcome to the real world
(now things are gonna get better today

so let me hear you say) x2
