lyrics
There really is no doubt
That I have been figured out
It’s really not that hard
I am most myself with you
It’s all I ever wanted
Don’t change don’t change don’t change
Don’t change don’t change
This is real life in this house
This is real life in this house
There is only now there is only now
There is only now there is only now
Us and now
Us and now
Would you have loved me back in 1982?
When we could hardly say our names
Must’ve been a chemical reaction
I’ve got flaws your hands can take
Feel my weight as I sink in deeper
The deeper the sweeter the sweeter it tastes
It’s all I ever wanted
Don’t change don’t change don’t change
Don’t change don’t change
This is real life in this house
This is real life in this house
There is only now there is only now
There is only now there is only now
Us and now
Us and now
