Every word I say, I mean it
Every single day, I feel it

But sometimes when you talk
Its obvious you want to show it
So dont blow it

[Chorus:]
Tell me what we got, tell me its a lot tell me its the real thing
Tell me not to change and always be the same, tell me thats a good thing
Its a good thing
Tell me not to lie, tell me not to wait
Tell me that you want the same things as me
Tell me that its fate driving me insane
Tell me its the real thing
That keeps me hangin on

I can read the signs between us
I feel it inside when you come nearer
Theres a stillness in the air like no one else is there
And every moment stays in the moment
Yeah

[Chorus:]
Tell me what we got, tell me its a lot tell me its the real thing
Tell me not to change and always be the same, tell me thats a good thing
Its a good thing
Tell me not to lie, tell me not to wait
Tell me that you want the same things as me
Tell me that its fate, driving me insane
Tell me its the real thing
That keeps me hangin on

Sometimes it hurts to watch you leave
It feels like youre taking a part of me with you
I never know how itll be
I guess its just a mystery
But is it the real thing (that keeps me hangin on)

[Chorus:]
Tell me what we got, tell me its a lot, tell me its the real thing
Tell me not to change and always be the same, tell me thats a good thing
Its a good thing
Tell me not to lie, tell me not to wait
Tell me that you want the same things as me
Tell me that its fate, driving me insane
Tell me its the real thing
That keeps me hangin on

Tell me what we got, tell me its a lot, tell me its the real thing
Tell me not to change and always be the same, tell me thats a good thing
Its a good thing
Tell me not to lie, tell me not to wait
Tell me that you want the same things as me
Tell me that its fate, driving me insane
Tell me its the real thing
The real thing
