It has been a while Since I have met a real girl Since I have met somebody who I wanted to tell All my secrets to
And I was never perfect I don't think I ever will be But I will try to fix myself and stay here Just in case you come along
And all of these perfect, dancing, soul-mate lovers How did they ever find each other? Will I know that when I know you know me?
So the day when I die I can die with a smile If I know that I was everything you needed Real girl
I had a dream that you were spinning High above the city I watched you from the darkness of the suburbs In the far unlit unknown
And I was just a kid then But you were a superhero Too smart for all the villains in their emerald towers Gunning for your soul
You were the perfect colour Bright green lady When they hear this they'll know I'm crazy But all that I am crazy for is you
And the day when I die I can die with a smile If I know that I was everything you needed Real girl
And all of the mistakes I made They write the dreams that sometimes fade Before I wake up to this life That I was sure would have no wife in it Unless you came along In the miracle you prove me wrong And we become unstuck in time The universe would be all yours and mine
But it has been a while Since I have met a real girl Since I have met somebody who I wanted to tell All my secrets to
