Cale Hawkins Real Thing
Used to be an optimist
But how was I positive
Maybe we were innocent
We were only kids
(We can't help but talk about something)
Now you got a bone to pick
(You just talk about nothing)
Talking 'bout accomplishment
Living in the background
Eyes all glazed
Everybody's fake
Tell me you're the real thing
Everybody caught up in the small talk
I'm not down at all
Looking for the real thing, looking for the real thing, real thing honey
And everybody caught up in the small talk
I can't turn you off
Looking for the real thing, looking for the real thing
But what if it's just me
I don't want to publicize my grief
You only see what I want you to see
Living in reality TV
We can't help but talk about something
You just talk about nothing
If you're real, then won't you tell me
Looking for the real thing, real thing honey
And everybody caught up in the small talk
I can't turn you off
Looking for the real thing, looking for the real thing
