The actual song is about how someone can have 2 personas. 1) behind close doors and 2) to the wider world. Nowadays with social media, that’s never been truer. Thus the line in the song ‘I only want to love you in Real Life’.
‒ Duke Dumont in an interview with The Sun.
[Intro]
(Mmm, mmm)
(Mmm)
(Love you in real life)
[Verse 1]
It means nothing
If you don't know what you got
You make it feel like Sunday
And it keeps me holding up
And up (Ah)
[Refrain]
These flashing lights, temporary
It's not the end
And the morning sun
Ooh, it's enough to make pretend
[Pre-Drop]
I only wanna love you, in real life
Love you in real life
I only wanna love you, in real life
Love you in real life
[Drop]
(Mmm, mmm)
(Mmm, mmm)
Love you in real life
(Mmm, mmm)
(Mmm, mmm)
Love you in real life
[Verse 2]
Don't lose your touch
Or your sincerity
You and me, babe
That's how it's gonna be (Ah, ah)
[Refrain]
These flashing lights, temporary
It's not the end
And the morning sun
Ooh, it's enough to make pretend
[Pre-Drop]
I only wanna love you, in real life
Love you in real life
I only wanna love you, in real life
Love you in real life
[Drop]
(Mmm, mmm)
(Mmm, mmm)
Love you in real life
(Mmm, mmm)
(Mmm, mmm)
Love you in real life
[Bridge]
I just wanna love you
I just wanna love you in real life
I just wanna love you
I just wanna love you in real life
[Drop]
I only wanna love you, in real life
Love you in real life
I only wanna love you, in real life
Love you in real life
(Mmm, mmm) I only wanna love you (I really wanna love you), in real life
Love you in real life (I really wanna love you)
(Mmm, mmm)
(Mmm, mmm) I only wanna love you, in real life
(Mmm, mmm) Love you in real life
[Outro]
(Mmm, mmm) In real life
(Mmm, mmm) Love you in real life
(Mmm, mmm) (In real life) I really wanna love you
I really wanna love you
