Real Lovin
Embracing Imagined Real Love
Lyrics
Now that you can dream
Expressing the ability to dream.
What is it you see
Prompting reflection on the content of dreams.
When you wake up in the folds of blankets in your bed
Imagining waking up surrounded by blankets in one's bed.
In your room
Highlighting the personal space of the room.
In your house
Emphasizing the home environment.
By yourself?
Questioning one's solitude in this setting.
I see a real lovin'
Describing a vision of genuine love.
Hearts pumping, palms sweating, dizziness
Detailing physical reactions associated with love, such as elevated heart rate and nervousness.
And the sheets are gleaming from the two of us
Depicting a shared intimate moment reflected in the gleaming sheets.
Of us
Repetition for emphasis on the shared experience.
Of us
-Of us
-But you're dreaming 'cause that's not real
Contrasting the dream with reality, suggesting the depicted love is not real.
You've tried and tried
Acknowledging past efforts to find genuine love.
What seems a million times and you wonder how you'll end up
Reflecting on the uncertainty of future relationships.
Is it the moon?
Pondering the influence of celestial bodies like the moon on one's fate.
Is it the stars?
Expanding the celestial metaphor to include stars and their impact on emotions.
Do they rule you and your heart?
Questioning the control of external forces over one's heart and emotions.
Well you think that is bullshit 'cause
Expressing skepticism and frustration with external influences.
What's the point when you go outside
Raising questions about the purpose of going outside.
And the sun is shining through the trees on your face
Describing a positive outdoor experience with sunlight filtering through trees.
On your face
Repetition for emphasis on the positive outdoor experience.
On your face
-On your face
-There's real love
Affirming the existence of genuine love.
There's real love
-There's real love
-There's real love
-On my face
Repetition emphasizing the presence of real love on the narrator's face.
On my face
-On my face
-On my face
