Real Love (feat. Ian Sherwood)

It’s still hot here after midnight

The heat has settled like a fight between old lovers

Tracing tan lines in the moonlight

Lay me down over the covers

I hear sirens in the distance

Fighting wildfires with no hope of escaping

The air is thicker than resistance

The only plans here are the ones that we aren’t making

Is this real love?

The day is fading into stories

But just one look and you can finish any sentence

We can chase the morning glories

Too hot for sleeping in the hours we have to spend

Imagine stars upon the ceiling

Imagine answers hidden in the constellations

Babe, I know how you’ve been feeling

Let our bodies work out their own explanations

Is this real love?

Is this real love?

Remember breezes on the beach

All alone, skipping stones that we had found

Side by side, just out of reach

Killing time until the twilight cools us down

When the morning birds are calling

Before the sun demands the breaking of the day

We will spend these moments stalling

Pretend to sleep and keep the summer heat away

Is this real love?

Is this real love?
