Inside these fits of amorous exuberance Lies the brutality of words The thoughts are fine But the truth makes you a liar So theres just one thing Ill require Let go of the runaway sentimentality Real love in your heart is a weapon Real love gives the pain some direction But if I could you know I would be your only real love In me and you All thoughts seem to rendezvous On oceans painted by a moon But thats all just runaway sentimentality It says nothing about what binds you and me Real love in the dark is presence Real love gives the cries their resonance But if I could you know I would be real And if I could you know I would be real to you You know I would It mocks us with the shining stars Reeling side to side in lonely bars Sends us off tall cliffs in tumbling cars Its a pattern, you see Real love is the tip of the arrow Real love is dangerous and harrowing So put down the runaway sentimentality It says nothing about what blinds you and me
