lyrics

Verse 1
If you were real
we could tear that burden down
you take the wheel
we could ride into the sun
we would reveal
all the scars to leave behind
we'd learn to feel
chase away our crimes
if you were real

Verse 2
If you were mine
I would learn to be your friend
we'd drink some wine
as the day came to an end
we'd see the signs
and we'd read each one out loud
We'd be divine
head stuck in the clouds
If you were mine

Chorus
If you were Real
If you were Mine
If you were Real
If you were Mine

Verse 3
If we could fly
We would glide into the night
we could rely
on truth to fuel our flight
we would defy
atmospheric weight
no need for goodbye
we would stayyyyyyyyy
side by side

Chorus
If you were real
If you were mine
If we could fly
It be divine

Instrumental over Verse

Chorus
If you were real
If you were mine
If we could fly
I'd be divine

If you were real
It be divine

Learn To Like It

This one took a few listens. The first time, it went in all at once, like a corkscrew punched through the soft slab of abdomen, there on my side. I hardly noticed. Then it started to jiggle and wriggle around in there, and slowly — twist by twist, track by track — I came to realize what a bloody, brilliant mess I had on my hands. veryvery
