Real

We wandered onto the pier around midnight,
Yeah seemed innocent to me,
but you held my hand and made things different,
is different to you what it is to me?

And I won't tell anyone when we're in love,
cause it just comes natural to some,
as long as you don't ask too many questions,
I won't break away.

It only hurts when I'm breathing,
and I only breathe when I'm with you,
and it's new, and heavy, and real.

So we trudged along on a rainy Wednesday,
I felt the seasons rushing by,
but you held your own, I fell in love,
so we laid back down to watch the river rise,

You give me more than I need,
and then the butterflies were like blood inside

It only hurts when I'm breathing,
and I only breathe when I'm with you,
and it's new, and heavy, and real.

So whatever happened
to the Santa Anna winds?
A little prescription drug between us,
suddenly we're friends.
But let me assure you that,
I'm just you're average dude,
and this parallel minor,
was supposed to get you in the mood.

It only hurts when I'm breathing,
and I only breathe when I'm with you,
and it's new, and heavy, and I'm afraid that it's real.
