I wish the music would carry me away
'Cause I don't wanna be stuck down here
And I wonder what I did this time
Could I be so cavalier
You know the lyrics
And I know the melody
So sing along, write a song about you

Don't have to wonder if you feel the same
'Cause I know that you do
'Cause I need this now
You need this too

Why should we wait on anything at all
The way the light swims across your face
How could I dream of anything, but the real you
Yeah the real you oh

Could it be that we met at the wrong time
How am I supposed to live with that
Always feeling like around the corner
He's gonna come back Yeah

'Cause I need you
Don't you feel it too

Why should we wait on anything at all
The way the light swims across your face
How could I dream of anything, but the real you
Yeah the real you oh

Know it's taking my pride yeah
And now I'm frantic inside yeah
And what if we met at the wrong time
What if we met at the wrong time yeah

You know it's taking my pride
And now I'm frantic inside
I know that I can't get over it
And what if we met at the wrong time yeah

You know it's taking my pride
And now I'm frantic inside
I know that I can't get over you
I know that my dreams will never do
'Cause I just need the real you

The real you yeah
The real you ohh
The real you
The real you yeah
('Cause I just need the real you)
The real you ohh
The real you
('Cause I just need the real you)
The real you
The real you
('Cause I just need the real you)
