This Is Real

I know I've been gone a long time
And I know that it gets hard
Cause our imaginations
run off in the dark
And it feels like time's against us
And it feels like so is love
Even though I know this song
has just begun

But this time when I got back
It seemed like you'd forgotten
what we had
Please remember

This is real
It's not just another made up story
Not just another ghost that slips
right through your hands
And remember how it feels
To be lying close together
Knowing that there's nothing
we don't have
Please remember this
Please remember this
Please remember

You know I love where I'm living
And where I travel too
But if you asked
I'd trade it all for you
Cause there's something
that you give me
Something that is true
That all this travelling 'round
will never do

But this time when I got back
It seemed like
you'd forgotten what we had
Please remember

This is real
It's not just another made up story
Not just another ghost that slips
right through your hands
And remember how it feels
To be lying close together
Knowing that there's nothing
we don't have
Please remember this
Please remember this
Please remember this
Oh please, remember this
Oh please...

Remember, this is the heart
that you held when you slept
And it's craved
only you since the day that I left

Cause this is real
It's not just another made up story
Not just another ghost that slips
right through your hands
Can you remember how it feels?
To be lying close together
Knowing that there's nothing
we don't have
Please remember this
Please remember this
Please remember this
Oh please, remember this
Oh please, remember me
