The real you
I knew the real you
I miss you

I have to redeem myself
Forever and forever
You can hear it in my song
You can see it in my eyes
You can master me
You can master me alive

The real you
I knew the real you
I miss you

Been down in my mind

I feel like taking a razor blade
And on my wrist
Write an invitation
I feel like taking a loaded gun
And in my mouth
Blowing up the ocean

Come to where I'm from
Come to where I come from

The real you
I knew the real you
I miss you

so let me stay
stay a little while
I'll be gone girl
before the sun can rise
I know you're scared
I know you're fathers mad
I know their saying in the end I'll make you sad

But I won't give up and I don't mind waiting
I can wait another day
But I won't give up and I don't mind watching
But I can't walk away
cuz I lost my shadow, lost my heart
Broke my back and crashed my car
And I know that I've got one last chance
To show you the real you

So will you stay
Stay a little while
Everything is easy when you let me see you smile
And I'll go down, down before its through
Theres nothing secret that I wouldn't do for you

And I won't give up and I don't mind waiting
I can wait another day
And I won't give up and I don't mind watching
And I can't walk away
cuz I lost my shadow, lost my heart
Broke my back and crashed my car
And I know that I've got one last chance
To show you the real you
The real you

I lost my shadow, lost my heart
Broke my back and crashed my car
And I know that I've got one last chance
To show you the real you
The real you
The real you
And i dont mind waiting
And I don't mind watching
But I can't walk away
Walk away
And I don't mind waiting
But I can't walk away
And I don't mind watching
But I can't walk away

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, we'll 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
Ooh

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

'cause I need you, know 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
Ooh

You know it's taken 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?

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

You know it's taken my pride
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
Ooh, the real you
Ooh, the real you
Ooh, the real you, yeah

Ooh, the real you
Ooh, the real you
Ooh, the real you, yeeh
