lyrics

Driving down the pacific coast
Moonlight over water
Beauty and pain that I can't explain
Makes my heart falter

Suddenly you've become a ghost
Suddenly I'm hollow
But baby we both know
That where I'm going you won't follow

I've got these dreams that run real deep
Really I am fragile
And from the way that you held me close
I really thought I had you

But demons chased you far away
There's nothing I could do or say
And I'm not sure which is worse to lose
My sanity or you

Your memory cast a long shadow
Two steps behind me wherever I go

Same old human story told a thousand times
Somehow it was different between you and I
If anybody asks you please don't tell a lie
You let them know that it was real
And when the music stops I'm gonna be alright
I'm gonna dance without you late into the night
If anybody asks me, and I'm sure they will
I'll let them know that it was real

It was real, you were real
Our love was really, really real

Driving down an October road
Restless in the fall
Writing letters that I never send
Why do I write them at all?

Was it love or a fantasy
Of someone I thought you could be?
But no, you can't take that away from me
'Cause it was really, really real

And in the night when you call my name
There'll be no answering
I gave you everything I could
But now I'm blowing in the wind

Let's put aside all this foolish pride
I just miss my friend
And I've got nothing left to hide
Because I left you, I left you

Your memory cast a long shadow
You're two steps behind me wherever I go

Same old human story told a thousand times
Somehow it was different between you and I
If anybody asks you please don't tell a lie
You let them know that it was real
And when the music stops I'm gonna be alright
I'm gonna dance without you late into the night
If anybody asks me, and I'm sure they will
I'll let them know that it was real

It was real, you were real
Our love was really, really real
Don't make it dirty because you are hurting

It was real, you were real
Our love was really, really real
Don't rewrite history because you are in misery
