The Real Thing

I was waiting in the parking lot

All dressed up and hoping for

Some spark to cut the night

Sweet and hot like neon lights

Take me someplace I’ve never been

You make me nervous and you make me smile

I get confused and I forget just why

I came down here

Sometimes I forget to take a breath

Treading water way out of my depths

I’m out to sea and I might float away

Take me someplace I’ve never been

Baby I’m ready for the real thing

Always say we’re gonna shoot the moon

In the middle of the afternoon you get a new tattoo

With the fingers crossed

Let us be lucky

Let us not sink back

And get lost

Take me someplace I’ve never been

Baby I’m ready for the real thing
