Real Thing

You're waiting for the punchline
betting it all the joke's on you
like good is good to be true
did it ever once cross your mind
maybe it's just the real thing

You say love is a bubble
that any day is bound to pop
it's a law of gravity
the other shoe will drop
while you're looking for seven signs
maybe it's just the real thing

The real thing
is gonna steal your unhappy ending
the real thing
is gonna feel like you're pretending
but the real shame
would be to treat the truth like a lie
when there's no denying you are my
real thing

Sitting in a cafe
staring at your half full cup
thinking emptiness
just stood you up
oh, when you don't miss your old friend
maybe it's just the real thing

If you make a little room
I'll take the seat beside you
break it to you slow
there's another side to
some you lose, some you win
maybe it's just the real thing

The real thing
is gonna steal your unhappy ending
the real thing
is gonna feel like you're pretending
but the real shame
would be to treat the truth like a lie
when there's no denying you are my
real thing

You're knocking like a witness
on the fortune teller's door
showing her the lines in your palm like before
she gives you a shrug and a grin
ah, maybe it's just the real thing
The real thing
the real shame
would be to treat the truth like a lie
when there's no denying you are my
real thing
