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
