lyrics

Let the chill of summer
melt you like an ice cube in some water.
Hundred degrees and a heart thirty below.
Everyone thinks they're born with all the answers.
Older I get and the less I seem to know

What's
"Real"
Is it the life that I have or the one I'm waiting for?
"Real"
Is it a pocket full of cash or a gift card worth more?
"Real"
Is it the job that I love or the one that pays the rent?
"Real"
If only I could win back the money I spent.

Overworked, under paid.
Everyone thinks they're built to have it made.
Everyone thinks they're owed a map when they're lost.
Always check the price but forgot to check the cost.

For
"Real"
Is it the life that I have or the one I'm waiting for?
"Real"
Is it a pocket full of cash or a gift card worth more?
"Real"
Is it the friends I can trust or the ones that cut the check?
"Real"
If only I could buy back my self respect.
