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
