The Real Thing lyrics - Deer Tick

I guess I've settled for half of what I need

You burned through me like wildfire

And there ain't nothing new to see

I've given half my life away wondering which direction's home

With a jagged piece of you somewhere

Stuck deep into my soul

You know how it feels

Can't get no relief

This couldn't be real

But it feels like the real thing

The real thing

I guess I always thought that I'd have my second chances

The days are now so precious

The timeline keeps advancing

Just behind the door, I thought, were the answers to my questions

All I wanted was a clean break

But ended up here in a mess

You know how it feels

To be brought to your knees

This couldn't be real

But the heartache, it feels like the real thing

The real thing

Always searching

Never finding

Always somewhere else

I think

You know how it feels

This couldn't be real

But it feels like the real thing

You know how it feels

Can't get no relief

This couldn't be real

But it feels like the real thing

The real thing

You know how it feels

To be brought to your knees

This couldn't be real

But the heartache, it feels like the real thing

The real thing
