Real Time, Real Tears

For a little while longer now, it just might need to be like this
Where going anywhere feels like walking high on a wire in the wind
It's hard to leave any story when it's over
Without dying to hear it again

Oh if only we could find the door to meet outside the past
Would I believe my heart when she promises to last?
Beating out beyond me on the sand
A fish out of water in your hand

Give it an hour, give it a day
Give it a summer, aw, give it a year
There's just something about living without
There's just no way around real time and real tears

So I give my pain a window now, I give my pain a door
I'd give anything to know if she's ever been anywhere like this before
And yes, I give her sunlight and water
And when she asks I always give her more

Give it an hour, give it a day
Give it a summer, aw, give it a year
There's just something about living without
There's just no way around real time and real tears

Real time and real tears
