Real Talk Lyrics

Can get real for a moment?
You're my one and only friend.

Watch the sunset from your sedan,
Let your hand rest on mine.

I've lived in every town,
But here is where I find home.

My mind is open,
And my body is yours,
Show me the sign,
Please.

I was so sure,
I was faulty,
And not able to love,
But then you crept up on me,
While I was dreaming,
Whispered love into my ear.

If you're tired I can drive us,
We can go back to my place.

My mind is open,
And my body is yours,
Show me the sign,
Please.

I think this one is pretty straightforward.

The narrator is kind of a lonely, solitary guy, who didn't think he could love. But then he found the one.

And now he is ready to settle down, but he is waiting for the other one's sign.

Can we get real for a moment? You’re my one and only friend

Watch the sunset from your sedan Let your hand rest on mine

I’ve lived in every town But here is where I find home

My mind is open And my body is yours Show me the sign Please

I was so sure, I was faulty And not able to love But then you crept up on me While I was dreaming Whispered love into my ear

If you’re tired I can drive us We can go back To my place

My mind is open And my body is yours Show me the sign Please

Lyric Correction
Cover art for Real Talk lyrics by Bloc Party

This one does seem really straightforward, but this Monday night I saw Bloc Party in Asheville NC, and Kele said the song was dedicated to "all the stoners in here". Maybe the "you" in the song is a drug? The song On has a similar thing going on.
