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
