True love is real I Felt it in the mornin' Wakin' up there next to you Take us to school the Steps all worn and tired Classrooms filled with memories Pages line your favorite room It's okay We carry our pain In separate ways On different days But I'll be there for you When you want me to True love is real I Felt it in the summertime Singin' on the porch with you We'll light the candle Foretell all our fortune Tears back to the ocean Ribbon round the south and When we finally split in two It's okay We carry our pain In different ways On desperate days Oh I'll be there for you If you want me to True love is real I Wrote it in a postcard One I never gave to you Real love is true I Taste it on my tongue each Time I sing these songs I Wear it on my sleeve I Feel it in the fog I Hear it in your laughter Swim in your forgiveness Meet me in the middle Kiss it where it hurts
