Something true to show you what I am to you Something real to cause your heart to rush with love And cause your mouth to rush to mine and make your eyes Ignore what isn't real But all my life I've failed to take advantage of my time And time is moving faster than the eye can see If we could only tell each other every other day There'd never be a reason to be leaving Just something to hold on to when we are both afraid Something to believe in when we think we've got it made Some things never change, the doubt that lingers in your mind Sometimes when you're down and out you leave the truth behind Just something real to show that I still feel.
