May Erlewine - The Real Thing Lyrics

I wanna fall in love in the harsh light of your kitchen
Telling the truth and chopping the onions
I spent so much time chasing the dream
Now I found the real thing
The real thing

I wanna hear the stories that you never tell
The ones that you save, the ones that don't land well
I wanna know the songs that your mother sings
I wanna know the real things
The real things

I want to go to bed early and stay up all night
Laughing and kissing and making it right
I want to make it better
I want to know how to
I want to know the real you
Mmm mmm

I want to walk together in the morning light
I wanna talk to the river and the countryside
I want to ask forgiveness to give me wings
I know I'm asking a lot
But it's the real thing
The real thing

I wanna fall in love in the harsh light of your kitchen
