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

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


. . .



Yes
I wanna have it
Yes yes
I wanna have you now
But I can't be the lighter
I can't be the lighter

I wanna go there
Yes yes
I wanna show you how
But I can't be the lighter
I can't be the lighter

Just in case you never knew
I can't be the lighter
Of your eternal flame

Oh! Oceans, rivers, lakes
That we could swim as two
But I already own my
Own body of water
You'll follow me and
Yes, yes
I'll follow you,
It's true
But I’m already certain
I've got good directions

Just in case you never knew
I won't be becoming
I am the beginning
And I’m already
Done

These yes days
They've come and gone
Not always going to make
The same mistakes

It's too simple, I saw the truth
And truth is the terror of the one
Who feels their lace can be stained
But I cannot stain your white lace, baby
Even you cannot stain your white lace baby

No
I'll never go there
No no
I'll never take that route
'Cause I won't be the fighter
I won' t be the fighter

Don't ever push me
No, no, don't ever make me shoot
'Cause I won't be the fighter
I won't be the fighter

Just in case you never knew
I won't be the fighter
For your eternal flame

Just in case you never knew
I won't be becoming
I am the beginning
And I’m already
Done

Just in case you never knew
I can't be the lighter
Of your eternal flame


. . .



Feed the light
I want to fight about it now
You won't be lost
You won't be found
You won't be lost
You won't be called out by me
For sure
I love you
But you still believe
That blossoms under
Stand when hit
With cold hard wind
It's not the end
Just changing climate
For sure
Be sure
To feed the light
Just feel your right to get it wrong
It's not the end
It never ends
You won't be lost
You won't be found
Unless you want
To be
Found


. . .



Starting now the wait is over
As long as you jump the ride
‘Cause I won't highway-walk forever
As long as you jump the ride

As long as you follow me
This is what I do, like I do
I've been on the ride before
It never stops at all
It never stops at all

You'll start your engines like a virgin
As long as you jump the ride
We'll cut the whip and lose the anchor
As long as you jump the ride

As long as you follow me
This is what I do, like I do
I've been on the ride before
It never stops at all
It never stops at all
As long as you follow me
This is what I do, like I do
I've been on the ride before
It never stops at all
It never stops at all

Don't you feel for us
That we're on the round and round?
Don't you hear
The endless motor sound?

As long as you follow me
This is what I do, like I do
I've been on the ride before
It never stops at all
It never stops at all
It never stops at all

I defy I love your way
How could it be different
I defy I love your way
(well) how could it be different

Now I'm kissing the real you
Now I'm kissing the real you

Will I get through my dark day
Can you hear me
Can you hear me

Ooh oh ooh oh ooh oh ooh oh
How could it be different

I see the stars around your face
They never seem to hurt at all
The stars around your face
They never seem to hurt at all

Now I'm missing the real you

Well, I got through my dark day
Did you fear me
Did you fear for me

Ooh oh ooh oh ooh oh ooh oh
How could it be different

I don't want to see my baby fall
It's the dawn I feel becoming ever after
This is my matter, dear

I defy I love your way
How could it be different
I defy, I love your way
How could it be different

Well I got to know you today
And I adore you
I adore you

Oh now I'm loving you
Oh now I'm loving you
How could it be different

Oh now I'm loving you
Oh now I'm loving you
How could it be different


. . .



I saw you tonight
Through the dim twilight
It was deep deep summer
With that yellow moon
And you were sleeping

I saw you tonight
You were in your ghost
Singing white Christmas
How you know
It's before me

It's your song
So divine
Dying time
Is a part
Of your laughter

I saw you today
Selling all your clothes
You were done with Hollywood
Through you

I saw you today
Run away finally
Coastal envy got you
And we got you
Blazing

It's your song
So divine
It was time
For the spread
Of your laughter

Greet me with flushed chest again
Morning bird I’ll wait for you
How could I not
How could I not

Greet me with flushed chest again
Morning bird I’ll wait for you
How could I not
How could I not

I saw you the morning
The early green
Took the back seat
And cream the dream is you
Has begun

I saw you so early
In the whisky dark
Your eyes were brightest black
You were not going back
It was your living

It's your song
From the past
It was back
For the start
Of your laughter

Greet me with flushed chest again
Morning bird I’ll wait for you
How could I not
How could I not

Greet me with flushed chest again
Morning bird I’ll wait for you
How could I not
How could I not

When the moment arrives
You know I will be waiting
Kicking into survival
The seas of life divide
It might seem to appear
That I am dead already
I left it all on the ground
At your feet
Yes
Christobel (gone away)
Christobel (gone away)
Why won''t you just fall in love
With me?
Christobel (gone away)

Let the temperature rise
The birds of prey are mating
And with you by my side
The instinct is alive
It might seem to appear
That I am dead already
On the ground
Before I died
Yes
Christobel (gone away)
Christobel (gone away)
Why won''t you just fall in love
With me?
Christobel (gone away)

Yes
Christobel (gone away)
Christobel (gone away)
Why won''t you just fall in love
With me
Christobel (gone away)


. . .



I don't want to live for tomorrow
Save me
I don't want to live for tomorrow
Save me
I don't want to live for tomorrow
I don't want to live for the dying chance
If you're already good as gone
If you're already good as gone

I don't want to live for another
Take me
I don't want to live for another
Take me
I don't want to live for another
I don't want to live for the dying chance
If you're already good as gone
If you're already good as gone

'Cause we live under the common tree
But I’ll learn to leave us there
With all the fruit
Still looking in your eyes
For a sign
I need to know

I don't want to wait any longer
Race me
I don't want to wait any longer
Erase me
I don't want to wait any longer
I don't want to wish and hope and pray
If you're already good as gone
If you're already good as gone


. . .



I won't cry
Anyone would rather
Shift their eyes
Than open up their leather
But you, you seem to be the one

So try me please
I'm a better dancer
Than it seems
The lightest floating feather
Is how I feel when I’m with you

So now that I know you
I'm ready to show you
How good I feel
'Cause anyone can see through me
But you're not anyone

Blaring car horns howl
Through feedback from this city
But I don't hear it now,
No, you, you hold my mind's desire

You give me shelter
From all that's done un-pretty
My sold-out, felt-up
Retreated little secrets
Are tucked inside the warmth of you

So now that I know you
I'm ready to show you
How good I feel
'Cause anyone can see through me
But you're not anyone

It's been a long time a long time
I've walked alone, I’ve warmed to it
But now I slip right in
I'm ready to start to be ready

So hold me now
You who came in pieces
'Cause I like whole pies
Underdone a little
But I feel how you burn inside

So now that I know you
I'm so ready to show you
How good I feel
'Cause anyone can see through me
But you're not anyone

Anyone can see through me
But you're not anyone

Anyone can see through me
But you're not anyone


. . .



You will know by the way
That he cuts his eyes
Looks away from the door
That walked in you
You will know it will go
Down in history
How sweet he was to you
And all the others

So hand it over
Cause we don't own it
It's in the mystery
Our silent fantasy
Cause i
Nor you
Could ever
Know what it's like
To have the night fall
And be felled by the night
No, we don't own it

That he made you feel
He made you feel safe enough
To feel at all
It's all there in the moment
You understood
That he's not going on
And you're still going on

So hand it over
Cause we don't own it
It's in the mystery
Our silent fantasy
Cause I
Nor you
Could ever
Know what it's like
To have the night fall
And be felled by the night
No, we don't own it

It's his story
Our subtle jealousy
Cause i
Nor you
Could ever
Know what it's like
To have the night fall
And be felled by the night
No, we don't own it
