In the brain, In the engine room, The game is a row I got fires to put out In the rain, On the eastbound train, Rushing towards Some kind of future Where you found me In a lonely wooden tower Nothing's more real than what it is And I’m trying to show you: And I never expect You to deliver me Well, I never wanted Anything easily Everything's changing, But we gotta stay for real And the way that we speak Is coming out differently Nothing we wish for Ever comes easily Everything's changing, But we got to stay for real. Don’t be vain Don’t swallow the bloom Keep it plain and devout As the fires burn out In my brain In an unlit lane Marking a road that leads to nowhere Where you found me In a lonely wooden tower Nothing's more real than what it is That’s what I’m trying to show you: And I never expect You to deliver me Well, I never wanted Anything easily Everything's changing, But we gotta stay for real And the way that we speak Is coming out differently Nothing we wish for Ever comes easily Everything's changing, But we gotta stay for real
