It has been a while
|
Since I have met a real girl
|
Since I have met somebody who I wanted to tell
|
All my secrets to
|
|
And I was never perfect
|
I don't think I ever will be
|
But I will try to fix myself and stay here
|
Just in case you come along
|
|
And all of these perfect, dancing, soul-mate lovers
|
How did they ever find each other?
|
Will I know that when I know you know me?
|
|
So the day when I die
|
I can die with a smile
|
If I know that I was everything you needed
|
Real girl
|
|
I had a dream that you were spinning
|
High above the city
|
I watched you from the darkness of the suburbs
|
In the far unlit unknown
|
|
And I was just a kid then
|
But you were a superhero
|
Too smart for all the villains in their emerald towers
|
Gunning for your soul
|
|
You were the perfect colour
|
Bright green lady
|
When they hear this they'll know I'm crazy
|
But all that I am crazy for is you
|
|
And the day when I die
|
I can die with a smile
|
If I know that I was everything you needed
|
Real girl
|
|
And all of the mistakes I made
|
They write the dreams that sometimes fade
|
Before I wake up to this life
|
That I was sure would have no wife in it
|
Unless you came along
|
In the miracle you prove me wrong
|
And we become unstuck in time
|
The universe would be all yours and mine
|
|
But it has been a while
|
Since I have met a real girl
|
Since I have met somebody who I wanted to tell
|
All my secrets to
|
|
