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.
