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
