It's Real For Us
Split Seven Ways Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We'll get the letters, and we'll be
Together, far away from here
Far from the noise, the shouts, the fear
I should be home; I'll stay awhile
Just to see the way you smile
I've never ever felt like this
We will go where we belong
I promise, promise you now
And whatever may bring our way
I'll keep you safe somehow
We will go where we belong
To our new school far away
A place where magic's in the air
And everything will be OK
Sat in the shade of this old tree
Waiting for a world of wizardry
You're more than just a Mudblood girl
You're better than everyone in the world
It's real for us, it's got to be
Can't lift the spell you've put on me
Soon Hogwarts will be our new home
And I'll never ever have to be alone
We will go where we belong
I promise, promise you now
And whatever the world may bring our way
I'll keep you safe somehow
We will go where we belong
To our new school far away
A place where magic's in the air
And everything will be OK
We will go where we belong
We will go where we belong
It'll be OK, it'll be OK
It'll be OK
