The Real Thing

(album: Inside Voices - 2023)

I will stop moving my mouth for a second
This wasn't part of the plan
All I ever wanted was
A remedy that I could trust

I don't need a lifeline, I don't want a rescue
Just that when the dark falls, you I should be next to

I keep my walls up, I'm trying to change that
You are my hometown, feels like a flashback
I hear your sweet song and every word I sing
I've seen enough fake to know the real thing

This should be easier but that's just not how we work
I know I'm difficult and sometimes my love's a curse
But you made your bed and I know that's where I wanna sleep
Trust me, your secrets I can keep

I don't need a lifeline, I don't want a rescue
Just that when the dark falls, you I should be next to

I keep my walls up, I'm trying to change that
You are my hometown, feels like a flashback
I hear your sweet song and every word I sing
I've seen enough fake to know the real thing

I used to be afraid, but I am not now
I drove myself away but I have learned how
To let the fear go and let the light in
No I won't let you down again

I keep my walls up, I'm trying to change that
You are my hometown, feels like a flashback
I hear your sweet song and every word I sing
I've seen enough fake to know the real thing

I keep my walls up, I'm trying to change that
You are my hometown, feels like a flashback
I hear your sweet song and every word I sing
I've seen enough fake to know the real thing
