For Real
Time and Distance Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Clouded skies tonight
Only bigger stars shine bright
Don't pay no mind
The best of 'em get left behind
And everyone can see your
Quiet whispers and
Greedy Eyes
Don't lay your hand
On my prize
Are you for real?
Throw yourself into my life darling
How do you feel?
I won't settle for your sightlessness
Bright prying lights
Tell me if I look alright
Out of my hands
Tailored to all your demands
Yeah everyone can see your
Quiet whispers and
Greedy Eyes
Don't lay your hand
On my prize
Are you for real?
Throw yourself into my life darling
How do you feel?
I won't settle for your sightlessness
Are you for real?
Throw yourself into my life darling
How do you feel?
I won't settle for your sightlessness
Are you for real?
Throw yourself into my life darling
How do you feel?
I won't settle for your sightlessness
Are you for real?
Throw yourself into my life darling




How do you feel?
I won't settle for your sightlessness
