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
