From the album Killing Time
Lyrics by: Dave Mountain
Music by: Dave Mountain, Pete Schwacker
So welcome to the real world, Juliet
I'd like to remember, but I'll prob'ly forget
You're finding it the wrong way, don't you see
Throwing all of my words back at me
We were just kids then, I see that it's true
And I didn't always do right by you
Only one thing worse than waking up wrong
That's leaving before the hour grows long
I'm sorry for that -- but what can be done
You better not ask -- let's cut and run
There's nothing left here -- you don't want to know
It's all my fault, OK? -- Now I gotta go
So welcome to the real world, Juliet
I feel bad about it, but our sun has set
You'll find another Romeo, don't you see
One who's prob'ly so much better than me
I meant all I said so don't you cry
Take it as truth and let the tears dry
I love you still but in my own way
and it's not fair to watch me stray
Just being honest -- I can't lie to you
I'm saying bye now -- My train is due
There's nothing left here -- you don't want to know
It's all my fault, OK? -- Now I gotta go
I'm back from the real world, Juliet
And I'd like to put my life on this bet
Aw, you and I were just meant to be
I'd like to come back now, and finally see
If you were still clear as a summer's day
And if you're still feeling the same way
I'm sorry I left but I came back for you
You've got to be seeing that my love is true
So who is this -- this can't be as fine
You must be joking -- you know that you're mine
Don't you say that -- my loving is pure
You must be kidding -- of course I'm sure
So welcome to the real world.
