The Electric Sons - Real Life Lyrics

It was summer
I was only 17
You were older
Had a job and everything
But the look in your eyes
Was like a wild fire
It was summer
We made a promise to remember
That we'd never get older
No we'd never let it in

Oh and there was the time
At the borderline
When you were careless, but it made me feel alive
And I was asking myself that night

Is this real life?
It only took a moment to materialize
We were driving fast between those highway lines
You were looking back and me with sunset eyes
I wanna go there over and over

I remember every one of your calls
But the night I couldn't pickup the phone
Oh no
I'll never let go
Your message said: I'm moving out to the coast
Away from here and everyone that I know
And I'm not coming back
But I hope you know I'll always remember the time

At the borderline
When we were reckless, but it made us feel alive
And we were asking ourselves that night

Is this real life?
It only took a moment to materialize
We were driving faster than the speed of the light
And I was looking back at you with sunset eyes
I wanna go there over and over
Over and over

I knew the second I saw your face
The car would have to crash to make it last
But you made it last forever
In just one day
I wanna hear you say:

It was real life

It only took a moment to materialize
We were driving faster than the speed of light
You were looking back at me with sunset eyes
I wanna go there over and over
Over and over
No one's gonna take us dead or alive
No one's gonna take our life
No one's gonna take us dead or alive
No one's gonna take our life"
