Real Love Baby

Red-eye, last minute flight

I get in early, I was roused by the light

Back in the city, no longer my home

Trying to let it go

I take a walk in Hollywood

My old apartment isn't looking too good

Then there's a lyric that, in context, stings

The immediate pain it brings

That song that you used to sing

And now I'm back on your couch, frozen peas to my head

Driving up to your folks, cramming into your bed

You picked me up every time, drove me back to our home

It doesn't leave you alone

Oh God, I wish I could delete ya

'Cause nothin' can compete with ya

I replenish and repeat ya

A heart excretes only one of us, only one

Blue and gold Friday night

Team up with Charlie, take these kids for a ride

Why's my heart pounding, beating out of my chest?

Remember to try and forget

I'm locked, she's the key

I'm a boat that's sinking, guess who's the sea

It's hard to shake it off and get back to me

When anything is a memory

And you repeat to the Nth degree

And now I'm back in my truck, I'm driving up to our place

We're sitting dead on the ground, there's nothing more to be said

You kept it tight to the chest at someone else's expense

That doesn't sound like real love

Oh God, I wish I could delete ya

'Cause nothin' can compete with ya

I replenish and repeat ya

I'd replenish and repeat ya

I wanna know (just two weeks, how'd you cut it like that?)

Maybe you show me how (i'm built different, I don't work like that, huh)

I got to repeat, chew up, spit out

The blame complex in me, me, me

Oh God, I wish I could delete ya

'Cause nothin' can compete with ya

I'd replenish and repeat ya

One heart could beat for the two of us, two of us, two of us, oh-oh-oh

Oh, God, I wish I could release ya

Wind it back and never be with ya

Then I'd be happy just to meet ya (oh my God)

One heart could bleed for the future us

If we were young, but this is done
