The Main Attraction
Tyler Kamen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dreaming away, the burner is on,
we've got a show to play,
the main attraction is a grand display,
open the doors to let the people in to hear the magic,
they've a lot to say, making notions
we are to begin our fabled story of love.

Who are you, who are we?
You are fantasy.
We know why you are here.

Realize this is real life.
You've been on the rise since you've been born.

Staying awake, a little bit longer
till your eyes are torn,
the main attraction is a worthy wait,
keeping us up until the song is sung,
singing along before the band is done,
we've got a word to share with you my friend,
our fabled story of love.

Who are you, who are we?
You are fantasy.
We know why you are here.





Realize this is real life.
You've been on the rise since you've been born.
