Lyrics Big Thief – Real Love
Text:
Having a bad week?
Let me touch your cheek
I will always love you
Having your face hit
By the one who loves you
Real love, real love
Real love makes your lungs black
Real love is a heart attack
Showing your mother
To any other, letting them touch her
Looking up to her, watching her do her makeup and hair
Real love, real love
Real love makes your lungs black
Real love is a heart attack
Cry like a bird, fly like a baby
Mamma got drunk and daddy went crazy
If your speech slurs, if you feel shaky, meet me out back
I’ll be there waiting
Riding in the back seat
Watching the spit fly and the hummingbird cry
O mamma, o papa
O mamma, o papa
How much blood is worth the draw?
How much blood is worth the draw?
Real love, real love
Real love makes your lungs black
Hummingbird watching
Watching her young thing
Grow up so fast
Watching her do her makeup and hair
