Real Love Songtext
von Big Thief

Having a bad week?
Let me touch your cheek
I will always love you

Having your face hit
Having your lips split
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
Lettin′ 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
Mama 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 chime

Oh mama, oh papa
Oh mama, oh 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 sing
Grow up so fast

Looking up to her
Watching her do her
Make-up and hair
