Real life's coming

Real Life’s Coming

by Robert Ramage

Intro

Late night glow from a cellphone screen…

Two hearts flirting somewhere in between

Fantasy and reality…

She said, “Baby, keep that same energy…”

And I smiled like trouble was already on the way

Verse 1

She said she’s counting down the days

Till she finally gets to see my face

Said she’s got my name rolling off her lips

Like a slow burn kiss she can’t resist

And every little message pulls me in

Like gasoline poured on a restless wind

I told her, “Girl, don’t talk too tough…”

She laughed and said, “Hope you can handle us…”

Chorus

Ohhh… real life’s coming

No more hiding behind these glowing screens

No more dreaming with our eyes half-open

No more “someday” fantasies

You say you’ll look at me a certain way

Whisper my name and steal my breath away

Baby, we’ve been dancing on the edge long enough

Real life’s coming…

And I might be in trouble when you show up

Verse 2

She said I got her rereading lines

Smiling like a fool at midnight

And I admit, she’s got me too

Thinking ‘bout the things we’d do

Not just passion, not just heat

Something electric underneath

A little danger, a little fun

Two stubborn hearts coming undone

And she keeps saying, “I ain’t going nowhere…”

Like she already sees herself there

Standing close enough to blur the line

Between imagination and real life

Chorus

Ohhh… real life’s coming

No more hiding behind these glowing screens

No more dreaming with our eyes half-open

No more “someday” fantasies

You say you’ll look at me a certain way

Whisper my name and steal my breath away

Baby, we’ve been dancing on the edge long enough

Real life’s coming…

And I might be in trouble when you show up

Bridge

So keep talking that sweet little talk

Keep turning sparks into wildfire thoughts

But sooner or later the distance breaks

And we find out if the chemistry stays

Will your hands fit mine like I imagine?

Will the room stop spinning when it happens?

One look… one touch… one laugh in the dark

Could set this whole world on fire with a spark

Verse 3

I told her I don’t fall for words alone

I need a heartbeat, skin and bone

Need to see those eyes in motion

Not just emojis and emotions

But damn if she don’t make it hard

To keep my cool and guard my heart

Every message pulls me near

Like she’s already standing here

And maybe she’s bluffing, maybe not

But either way, she’s got me caught

Halfway between caution and desire

Standing in the smoke of a digital fire

Chorus

Ohhh… real life’s coming

No more hiding behind these glowing screens

No more dreaming with our eyes half-open

No more “someday” fantasies

You say you’ll look at me a certain way

Whisper my name and steal my breath away

Baby, we’ve been dancing on the edge long enough

Real life’s coming…

And I might be in trouble when you show up

Outro

Yeah… keep that same energy, baby

When the lights are low and the distance fades

Cause one way or another

This fantasy’s headed straight for reality…

And real life’s coming now.
