It Could Be Real - Joey Cape

It’s a long way back from a twenty-year nap and I’m out of practice now

Another mistletoe in a transient tomb for those who’ve been beaten down

But it could be real, it could be real for some

I can be real, I can be real enough

If there’s a long way round it’s where I will be found and I’ll get a lazy start

Another perfect day to ignore any pain and duct tape this calloused heart

But I can be cool, I can get a haircut

I can adhere, I can keep my mouth shut

And all through your past broken glass, Shards that left blood on the tracks

The idal space to be out of the gam reinventing

In the year of the empty seat at the table, the valued and the grateful to have

shared

How they miss them, How they miss them

Another humbling day to revise your routine and echo eternity

Yeah, it’s reflection time to affirm and define how stable we used to be

And I could get there but I might be a no-show

Cause I’m just a square and that’s just a place to go

I could be fit, I can fit in enough

It could be real, It could be real for some
