Real Love
MR.RIGHT & MR.WRONG Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Real love is scary
You try to hide when it looks for you
You never know what it will do
Not real love
Not real love
Real love is a long stone bed, he said
His face a mask of indifference
Not real love
Not real love
Real love on a sunny day
Is a crow on a telephone pole
With something to say
And you feel like someone
Has just walked on your grave
That's real love
That's real love
The glory of love
The glory of love
That precious rain
That falls from above
First a gentle murmur
That calls from the heart
And then a great wind
That will blow you apart
That's real love
That's real love
Like a ghost it will pass right through you
A spirit that lives on
When you are through
And there is nothing that you can do
The wind in the trees
The smell of wet leaves
The rumble of a passing truck
A streak of blood
Please forgive me for what I've done to you
And lord forgive me for what I'm going to do
In the name of...
Real love is scary
You try to hide when it looks for you
You never know what it will do
And it don't care about me or you
And there is nothing you can do about
Real love
Anyway, that's what I heard a crow say
But who cares what a crow say anyway?
Especially about something, something
Something so strictly personal
(Real love)
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it? That wind on your face
You can get down on your knees and pray
But nothing that you do or say
Will make it go away
(Real love)
It's like thunder, like lightning
The way you love me
The way you love me
The way you love me
It's frightening

That is what real love feels like
The glory of love
The power of love
That precious rain
Symbolic of cleansing and renewal
That falls from above
This is a blessing from a higher power
First a gentle murmur
At first, love starts quietly

It is a call from deep within
And then a great wind
Love grows and becomes more intense
That will blow you apart
Love has the power to change you completely
Like a ghost it will pass right through you

Please forgive me for what I've done to you

And lord forgive me for what I'm going to do
As an expression of love, one might also express regret for what they will do
In the name of...
A reference to a higher power or commitment
Anyway, that's what I heard a crow say
All of this is just someone's perception or interpretation of love
But who cares what a crow say anyway?
But really, why should we care what anyone says about love?
Especially about something, something
Especially about something as personal as love
(Real love)
Again, this is what real love is
Can you feel it?
Can you sense it?
That wind on your face
Love can be felt in the physical world
You can get down on your knees and pray
As an expression of love, one might pray for guidance
But nothing that you do or say
Ultimately, you cannot control love
Will make it go away
Love is stubborn and will not be dissuaded
The way you love me
A declaration of love
It's like thunder, like lightning
A metaphor for the intensity of love
The way you love me
A declaration of love
It's frightening
It can also be scary and intimidating
