Lyrics
They're putting up the chairs too close, she let me settle up my tab
Preparing to leave a place, settling a bill
I tore the button off your coat as you jumped up to hail us a cab
Romantic gesture, tearing a button off a coat
We can get a cup of coffee unless you gotta get back home
Suggesting a casual outing for coffee
Sitting across that table, a gypsy couldn't read her mind
Unable to understand her thoughts
I took her hand and told her I just wanna crawl into your eyes
Expressing a desire to connect deeply
She shook her head and said, "it's cold" cold is just a cheap disguise
Her response, indicating emotional distance
Have you ever known a real love?
Pose a question about experiencing genuine love
The kind of love that makes you feel, love?
Describing a profound love that evokes feelings
No, this ain't let's make a deal, love
Rejecting superficial or transactional love
It'd make an angel give his wings up
Highlighting the transformative power of love
It makes you guilty 'cause you want more
Feeling guilty for desiring more in love
If it's a kiss that you would die for
Expressing a willingness to sacrifice for a kiss
Feels like you're falling through the stars
Describing an intense, dreamlike experience
If it could break your heart
Love's potential to be emotionally painful
It's real love
Affirming the authenticity of the described love
We drank that muddy pot of coffee it was morning when I walked her home
Recalling a shared moment over coffee
I've never been this lonely, lying in this bed alone
Expressing deep loneliness in bed
Her words still ringing in my head, I said I sunk men like a stone
Reflecting on impactful words about sinking emotionally
Have you ever known a real love?
Reiteration of the question about real love
The kind of love that makes you feel, love?
Describing love's ability to evoke emotions
No, this ain't let's make a deal, love
Rejecting love as a mere transaction
It'd make an angel give his wings up
Emphasizing the transformative power of love
It makes you guilty 'cause you want more
Acknowledging guilt for desiring more in love
If it's a kiss that you would die for
Expressing a willingness to die for a kiss
Feels like you're falling through the stars
Describing a sensation of falling through the stars
If it can break your heart
Love's potential to cause heartbreak
It's real love
Reaffirming the authenticity of the described love
I put on that same shirt, and I ran out the door
Recalling a previous encounter, wearing the same shirt
Stole a fistful of roses from the sidewalk store
Stealing roses as a romantic gesture
Just my heart in my hand, I had nothing to throw
Symbolizing vulnerability with just a heart in hand
Standing up on a front step calling to your window
Seeking attention, standing outside her window
Have you ever known a real love?
Reiteration of the question about real love
The kind of love that makes you feel, love?
Describing love's ability to evoke emotions
No, this ain't let's make a deal, love
Rejecting love as a mere transaction
It'd make an angel give his wings up
Emphasizing the transformative power of love
It makes you guilty 'cause you want more
Acknowledging guilt for desiring more in love
If there's a kiss that you will die for
Expressing a willingness to die for a kiss
Feels like you're falling through the stars
Describing a sensation of falling through the stars
If it can break your heart
Love's potential to cause heartbreak
It's real love
Reaffirming the authenticity of the described love
Feels like you're falling through the stars
Continuation of the falling-through-stars metaphor
If it can break your heart
Love's potential to cause heartbreak
It's real love
Final affirmation of the authenticity of the described love
