Her Diamonds

Exile on Mainstream

Real World (2007 Remaster)

Came to me late at night
tired eyes made it hard to write
halfway through the song
I knew couldn't last this long

So I feel back on the bed
Sleep will surely cure my head
and after the sun rise
I'll come in with fresher eyes

But what seemed like a dream
I couldn't tell what it means
was it just fantasy
it sure looked like the end to me


The Devil gave me a test
To see if I had any last regrets
If you could give me the time
to make one final rhyme

There's a few lines left to write
But I left it overnight
If you give the time to me
To finish this melody

Then it all went dark



I woke up in a haze
just to great a brand new day
Fell out of bed and kissed the floor
now I know what I'm living for

Gotta finish this here song
the devil won't give me long
the words all come to me
no way that was a dream


The Devil gave me a test
To see if I had any last regrets
If you could give me the time
to make one final rhyme

There's a few lines left to write
But I left it overnight
If you give the time to me
To finish this melody


No more waiting for the night
If I don't live to see the light
leave nothing to regret
one more chance I may not get

so I ain't gonna do it wrong
and it became my favorite song
It might have just been a dream
but it meant so much more to me


The Devil gave me a test
To see if I had any last regrets
If you could give me the time
to make one final rhyme

There's a few lines left to write
But I left it overnight
If you give the time to me
To finish this melody

Rob Thomas has been one of modern music’s most compelling and commercially successful artists for well over a decade – between Matchbox Twenty, his solo work, and his various collaborations with iconic artists like Santana, Mick Jagger and Willie Nelson, his tally now stands at more than 80 million albums sold worldwide. Arguably the most accomplished singer/songwriter of his generation, it all comes back to the creative source for Rob. As he says with typical understatement, “I’m a guy who hears songs in his head, and I have to write them down, and I have to get them out. I’m just lucky enough that I can make it my life’s work.”
