Real

Your dusty leather books, calla lilies in a vase
Rich mahogany shelves and your emerald velvet chaise
This is how your half lives, and you wonder why they jest 
Its elementary my dear, won’t you take your finest guess? 

Back on the rolling green lawns, where we played when we were kids
Before we knew right from wrong, and life was changed by the Shins
I know what you’ll say, don’t you tell me how I feel
I know what I know, and I know that this is real
I know what I know, and I know that this is real

(For YOU)

 Won’t you look at the majesty of this catastrophe won’t you? 
As we turn this whole masterpiece into a tragedy right on cue
And of all of the analogies, in the whole galaxy, nothing compares to you
So let’s turn our reality into rhapsody tangled up in blue

Wicked winds of wisdom, whip amongst the violet rays
In aqua sparkling pools on those endless summer days
Freshly laundered linens, folded neatly on your bed
With contracts binding, dollar signing in your head  

Silent gallery echoes, curtains drawn across the plane
An immaculate vibe, brought back from France and sunny Spain
Hazy lazy night times, blinding green light signs
An orgiastic future, roaring in and out of view
Eyes of god watching as you’re roaring into view

(For YOU)

As I reflect on the soliloquy life has in store for me and you
With all its peaks and its valleys and all the little things I thought I knew
And if love is a malady, that has it out  for me, I’ll never grow sick of you
So let’s make all this blasphemy a rose-colored fantasy for two
