Real Life

Joan as Police Woman

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
