One more compromise I won't be making One more easy way out I won't be taking So many chances don't come twice So many eyes are made of ice One more cheating hand I won't be shaking One more substitute I won't be trying One more piece of the rock that I'm not buying So many times we stand and fight So many reasons can't be right One more simple truth I'm not denying Too many lonely hearts in the real world Too many lonely nights in the real world Too many fools who don't think twice Too many ways to pay the price Don't wanna live my life in the real world One more sacrifice I won't be making One more golden rule I won't be breaking No one to let me state my case No one to tell me to my face One more sweet surprise I won't be faking Too many lonely hearts in the real world Too many lonely nights in the real world Too many bridges you can burn Too many tables you can't turn Don't wanna live my life in the real world Oh, too many lonely hearts in the real world Too many lonely nights in the real world Too many games that I can't play Too many windmills in my way Don't wanna live my life in the real world (don't wanna live in the real world) Too many lonely hearts in the real world (too many lonely hearts) Too many lonely nights in the real world (too many lonely nights) Don't wanna live my life in the real world (don't wanna live in the real world) Too many lonely hearts in the real world (too many lonely hearts) Too many lonely hearts in the real world (ah, yeah) Don't wanna live my life in the real world

In dreams we do so many things We set aside the rules we know And fly above the world so high In great and shining rings If only we could always live in dreams If only we could make of life What, in dreams, it seems But in the real world We must say real goodbyes No matter if the love will live It will never die In the real world There are things that we can't change And endings come to us In ways that we can't rearrange I love you, and you love me But sometimes we must let it be In the real world In the real world When we were dreaming heart to heart I wish that we had stayed right there For when the dreamers do awake The dreams do disappear If only we could always live in dreams If only we could make of life What, in dreams, it seems But in the real world There are things that we can't change And endings come to us In ways that we can't rearrange I love you, and you love me But sometimes we must let it be In the real world In the real world

Cowboys don't cry, and heroes don't die Good always wins, again and again And love is a sweet dream that always comes true Oh, if life were like the movies, I'd never be blue But here in the real world It's not that easy at all 'Cause when hearts get broken It's real tears that fall And darlin' it's sad but true But the one thing I've learned from you Is how the boy don't always get the girl Here in the real world I gave you my love, but that wasn't enough To hold your heart, when times got rough And tonight on that silver screen It'll end like it should Two lovers will make it through Like I hoped we would But here in the real world It's not that easy at all 'Cause when hearts get broken It's real tears that fall And darlin' it's sad but true But the one thing I've learned from you Is how the boy don't always get the girl Here in the real world No, the boy don't always get the girl Here in the real world

I'm digging through the glove box I thought I had a map in here The driver's door doesn't lock I bought the car my junior year There's candy in my backpack And you can pick our soundtrack We're heading for the East Coast tonight So pack your bags and hold on tight 'Cause we're taking off We're taking off Run away with me We're on the way to New York City Take my hand and see Manhattan never looked so pretty Travel light and see the world right You'll never know if you never go so Run away with me And say hello to New York City Feet up on the dashboard We're driving with the windows down Did you forget your phone cord? We'll buy one in the next small town Get dinner at an IHOP A shower at a truck stop We'll listen to some Johnny Cash Take my hand and don't look back 'Cause we're moving on We're moving on Run away with me We're on the way to New York City Take my hand and see Manhattan never looked so pretty Travel light and see the world right You'll never know if you never go so Run away with me And say hello to New York City Run away Run away Run away Run away Run away with me We're on the way to New York City Take my hand and see Manhattan never looked so pretty Travel light and see the world right You'll never know if you never go so Run away with me Stroll the midtown streets And tell me that you don't feel giddy Lady Liberty Ain't throwing us a wink or is she? Travel light and see the world right You'll never know if you never go so Run away with me And say hello to New York City Say hello to New York City Say hello to New York City
