The Real World Lyrics

I saw the autumn leaves
Peel up off the street
Take wing on the balmy breeze
And sweep you off your feet

And you blushed as they scooped you up
On sugar maple wings
To gaze down on the city below
Ablaze with wondrous things

Downy...

    On his website he says it's about how people wish that they could live in the reality inside their heads, but they can't.

    I don't know much about Adam Young's personal life, but it seems that this song is about a beautiful woman. He is watching her fall asleep, and he is slowly falling asleep himself. He realizes that his lovely dream world has everything he wants, including his beloved right next to him. As he contemplates the dream world, he states he would never wake if he had the choice.

    This song is really fun to listen to. Like most of Young's stuff, it's a break of contemplation with a catchy tune.
