Real life

I freeze my hands as I close the door

To wait in line so I can wait some more

And it's true what they say about love

Yes, it's true what they say about life

And I'm taking it for all it's worth

I watch the numbers register on the postal scale

I think of your hands and calculate

How a man desired feels the weight of a letter

It's true what they say about me

That I'm out of my mind but I think that you like it

So take the chance, be reckless with me

'Cause I'm real life

And you're real life

And we're real life

We're real life

Is it pleasing?

Six hundred thousand miles and all this solitude?

I know what is pleasing

What I'll find beneath your new pair of glasses

I've never included a name in a song

But I'm changing my ways for you, Jonathan

I need you to know

I need you to know that I'm real life
