Real Thing

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I'm so sick of thinking, staying up at night

I don't wanna play around, that ain't on my mind

When I think of other faces, problems don't exist

But if I'm being honest with you

I'm tired of that fantasy, I'm tired of the daydream

Tired of just waiting to fall asleep to see you

I know it's imaginary, but I think my mind is ready

Need to leave this sanctuary for something true

I just want the real thing

I just want the real thing

I want all the fights, you know?

I want all the tears

I want all the conversations, tell me all your fears

'Cause I know that it's hard for you to trust

No one's ever given you enough

I might need to stop and give it up, eh

I'm tired of that fantasy, I'm tired of the daydream

Tired of just waiting to fall asleep to see you

I know it's imaginary, but I think my mind is ready

Need to leave this sanctuary for something true

I just want the real thing

I just want the real thing

I just want the real thing

(I don't wanna think)

(I don't wanna live in fantasy)

Real thing

(I just want you here)

(I just want you in reality)

I just want the real, mmh, real thing

I just want the real thing, oh, oh

I just want the real, the real thing

(I don't wanna think)

(I don't wanna live in fantasy)

I just want the real thing

(I just want you here)

(I just want you in reality)

I just want you here

I just want you in reality

Real thing
