For Real
Aloha Radio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you blew them all
I gave you so much time
You still couldn't call
You say you want to love me
You don't know how
I can show you the way
I know our love is for real
I know our love is for real, babe
I know our love could survive
The push and pull of the tides
Last night while we were hanging out
There were signs I couldn't ignore
Now it's plain and clear to me
You don't know what your looking for
You say you want to love me
You don't know how
I could show you the way
If you could stop your wandering mind
I know our love is for real
I know our love is for real, babe
I know our love could survive
The push and pull of the tides
You don't know how you make me feel
You don't know how you make me feel, babe
I know our love could survive
The push and pull of the tides
