Lyrics

It’s still hot here after midnight
The heat has settled like a fight between old lovers
Tracing tan lines in the moonlight
Lay me down over the covers
I hear sirens in the distance
Fighting wildfires with no hope of escaping
The air is thicker than resistance
The only plans here are the ones that we aren’t making
Is this real love?

The day is fading into stories
But just one look and you can finish any sentence
We can chase the morning glories
Too hot for sleeping in the hours we have to spend
Imagine stars upon the ceiling
Imagine answers hidden in the constellations
Babe, I know how you’ve been feeling
Let our bodies work out their own explanations

Is this real love?

Remember breezes on the beach
All alone, skipping stones that we had found
Side by side, just out of reach
Killing time until the twilight cools us down

When the morning birds are calling
Before the sun demands the breaking of the day
We will spend these moments stalling
Pretend to sleep and keep the summer heat away

Is this real love?
