We Both

When I was with you, I was real When I was with you, I could be myself When I was with you, I didn't feel Lost, confused or frightened Or scared to be who I am When I was with you, I was real We both think you look great in a knit sweater We both enjoy an empty cafe We both are actual human beings to waiters We both are not totally straight None of that changes None of that has changed Okay? Okay We both like drinking hot tea in warm weather We both like playing guitar We both like when you tell me the plots of bad movies We both forget our card at the bar Almost always When I was with you, I was real When I was with you, I could be myself When I was with you, I was real Like as real as my retainer That I left at your house one time When I am with you, I am real Now, do you remember what I said the first time we did the questions? About my perfect day? Yes You said that tomorrow could be the perfect day if we let it be That's not the kind of answer you forget Especially when the person answering it is wearing a low-cut blouse Mm, you thinking about my blouse? I'm remembering it Do you remember my answer? Ehh, the broad strokes Uh, picnic in the park with your family A mini-muffin basket for lunch Everyone getting together under a big blanket and watching the entire third season of The Office Still true And I'd still wanna be there with you Question five "When was the last time you sang to yourself? To someone else?" Uh, this afternoon To Henry What about to yourself? He only stayed for half Uhh, the last time I sang was on my way over here in the car You sang?! What did you sing? Oh, I'm gonna die out here Oh, that hit, I forgot about that one Yeah And I think, uh, that counts as me singing to someone else Ask me the next one Question six "If you were able to live to the age of 90 And retain either the mind or body of a 30-year-old For the last 60 years of your life, which would you want?" Do you remember my answer? Body Do you remember mine? Mind See? Nothing has changed We're still a good half-sexy team Question seven "Do you have a secret hunch about how you will die?" You said that you thought you were gonna die in your car, but you weren't sure how Right? And you said that you weren't afraid of death And I'm still not I'm only afraid of dying alone Read the next one Uh, question eight "Name three things you and your partner appear to have in common." Easy We both are super good at Settlers of Catan We both become monsters when we lose We both think we have the best-worst name for a band We both check Twitter for our news There's four We both say the other is better at cooking We both hate that kitchen island we built We both need a glass of water on the bedside table We both recycle purely out of guilt We both have dreams much bigger than ourselves We both think that's how to live We both put up a fight for all the right reasons And we both eventually give I tried so hard to separate Who you are from who you were But now I'm reevaluating How similar you are to her You have the same voice And the same cadence when you speak If I close my eyes You still sound to me like Natalie When I was with you, I was real (Am I in love with Natalie?) When I was with you, I could be myself (Or who's right in front of me?) When I am with you, I can feel Shivers running down my spine Your skin close to mine It's like my five senses make my heart defenseless With you When I am with you, I am real (with you) When I am with you, I am actually too real (with you) When I am with you, everything feels (with you) So real
