Jeff Carson Real Life Lyrics

I was young,he was old
We both, were the same age
Everyday, playing fetch
Shaking hands
He'd lick my face
And I was unaware, the day he would come
And when he died, for the first time I knew what real pain was
And I never was the same again
From that moment on, real life began

Senior high, girlfriends
Football games, graduation
Summer break, spend my time
Filling out, applications
A few superficial years went by,
They were all a blur
And in the most unlikely situation,
There you were
Yeah.. and I never was the same again,
From that moment on real life, began
With you... with you...
By your side, scared to death,
Felt the pain, you were fighting
Placed my palm on your head
Spoke your name, just keep trying
Then you closed your eyes, took.. one last breath,
And when it was over, you looked up,
Laid our baby across your breast
I never was the same again, from that moment on, real life began...
