Real
Noir Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Maybe I’m just a mess and you made me this way
I could try to impress you but my brain and words will never obey
Just scramble my words leave them sunny side up
The smile on your face means my tongue’s tying up
And maybe I’ll eventually give it up
But given my luck I’m not giving too much
And maybe I don't deserve you but
Lately
Hiding from virtue won’t make me
Run away from you
Oh I just don’t understand
Because they say the grass is greener on the other side
But I don’t believe a word that they say
I won’t pay them any mind
Oh I just want you to know
That If don’t really show
How I feel
Just know that it’s real
Yeah
Maybe I just don’t get the message
Maybe I’m just a lonely mess and
How the breeze fumbles with your dress is
Another reason I’m hypnotized
See the amazon in your eyes
Dream of ways I can stand beside
Be your sun when the rain subsides
I just want you to know
Because they say the grass is greener on the other side
But I don’t believe a word that they say
I won’t pay them any mind
Oh I just want you to know
That If don’t really show
How I feel
Just know that it’s real
Ain’t a soul brighter than yours high beams down the highway
Looking for a better thing wouldn’t happen even if I tried it
All of my words tripping over obstacles and hurdles
Tryna find a way to speak to you is eternal
I pull up in the driveway too nervous to respond
To your message I’m sorry
I know that I don’t deserve you
But Lord knows I love you
Because they say the grass is greener on the other side
But I don’t believe a word that they say
I won’t pay them any mind
Oh I just want you to know
That If don’t really show




How I feel
Just know that it’s real

And maybe I deserve you but
Lately
Hiding from virtue won’t make me
Run away from you
Oh I just don’t understand

Because they say the grass is greener on the other side
But I don’t believe a word that they say
I won’t pay them any mind
Oh I just want you to know
That If don’t really show
How I feel
Just know that it’s real

Yeah
Maybe I just don’t get the message
Maybe I’m just a lonely mess and
How the breeze fumbles with your dress is
Another reason I’m hypnotized
See the amazon in your eyes
Dream of ways I can stand beside
Be your sun when the rain subsides
I just want you to know

Mau

Letra en español


Tal vez solo soy un desastre y me hiciste así Podría tratar de impresionarte, pero mi cerebro y mis palabras nunca obedecerán Solo revuelve mis palabras, déjalas soleadas La sonrisa en tu cara significa que mi lengua está atada Y tal vez eventualmente lo abandone Pero dada mi suerte, no doy demasiado Y tal vez te merezco pero Últimamente Esconderme de la virtud no me hará Huir de ti Oh, simplemente no entiendo

Porque dicen que el pasto es más verde del otro lado Pero no creo una palabra que digan No les haré caso Oh, solo quiero que sepas Eso si no se muestra realmente Como me siento Solo sé que es real

Si Tal vez simplemente no recibo el mensaje Tal vez solo soy un desastre solitario y Cómo la brisa se enreda con tu vestido es Otra razón por la que estoy hipnotizado Mira el Amazonas en tus ojos Sueña con formas en las que pueda estar al lado Sé tu sol cuando la lluvia disminuya Solo quiero que sepas Porque dicen que el pasto es más verde del otro lado Pero no creo una palabra que digan No les haré caso Oh, solo quiero que sepas

Eso si no se muestra realmente Como me siento Solo sé que es real No hay un alma más brillante que la tuya en la carretera Buscar algo mejor no sucedería incluso si lo intentara Todas mis palabras tropezando con obstáculos y obstáculos Intentar encontrar una manera de hablarte es eterno Me detengo en el camino demasiado nervioso para responder a tu mensaje, lo siento Sé que no te merezco Pero el señor sabe que te amo

Porque dicen que el pasto es más verde del otro lado Pero no creo una palabra que digan No les haré caso Oh, solo quiero que sepas Eso si no se muestra realmente Como me siento Solo sé que es real

0:32 I love how Eli Noir says "I don't deserve you" but the CC says "I deserve you".

John Caster

He thinks he doesn’t deserve her, but in fact he is ;)

@John Caster Someone once say, humble people don't say that they're humble

Detective Emilio

A song that sounds good for a sunny day is perfect when placed with the opposite. Listening to this late at night while it’s raining reminds me of us. I’m so dark and gloomy while you’re sunny and joyful. Together we make a unique combination but somehow it fits more than anything. I love you my sunshine.
-your darling, Emilio
