  • Every word I say, I mean it
    Every single day I feel it
    But sometimes when you talk
    It's obvious you want to show it
    So don't blow it

    [Chorus]
    Tell me what we got
    Tell me it's a lot
    Tell me it's the real thing
    Tell me not to change
    And always be the same
    Tell me that's a good thing
    It's a good thing
    Tell me not to lie
    Tell me not to wait
    Tell me that you want
    The same things as me
    Tell me that it's fate
    Driving me insane
    Tell me it's the real thing
    That keeps me hanging on

    I can read the signs between us
    And I feel it's inside when you come nearer
    There's a stillness in the air
    Like no one else is there
    And every moment stays in the moment

    [Chorus]

    Sometimes it hurts to watch you leave
    It feels like you're taking a part of me with you
    I never know how it'll be I guess it's just a mystery
    But is it the real thing (that keeps me hangin' on)

    [Chorus:Repeat x2] Writer/s: KARA DIOGUARDIA, MARTIN FREDERIKSEN
