If Your Love Is Real Lyrics
Three days spent staring at your photograph
Read your letter, made me laugh
But there's a shadow on the path
Till I know if your love is real
'Cause it's not as if a lot was said
Falling in and falling out of bed
And now the world's turned on its head
Till I know if your love is real
Spent a long time persuading myself
That I don't need no one, nobody else
That I felt all there was to feel
I'm in a daydream now
I'm out to lunch
Should it come down to the crunch
I'm wide open for that sucker punch
Till I know if your love is real
Till I know if your love is real
Spent a long time persuading myself
That I don't need no one, nobody else
That who I was I could conceal
Know if I should live 100 years
I'd never see another face like yours
On stranger seas or brighter shores
'Cause I know that my love is real
Read your letter, made me laugh
But there's a shadow on the path
Till I know if your love is real
Falling in and falling out of bed
And now the world's turned on its head
Till I know if your love is real
That I don't need no one, nobody else
That I felt all there was to feel
I'm out to lunch
Should it come down to the crunch
I'm wide open for that sucker punch
Till I know if your love is real
Till I know if your love is real
That I don't need no one, nobody else
That who I was I could conceal
I'd never see another face like yours
On stranger seas or brighter shores
'Cause I know that my love is real

questions seep through If Your Love Is Real which is "about someone falling for somebody and some mad, passionate thing that is fantastic, in-and-out of bed, then they're off somewhere else and you're wondering whether it was just a good time for them or if they really feel as deeply as you do." This he considered in terms of his own mother. "My mom and dad had been split up for a couple of years and my mom was about to start seeing another bloke and I remember thinking she seemed really vulnerable and what a big deal this was," he says, quietly. "All she'd been through and then to stake it all on someone else again. The courage you need to do that. Those thoughts also occurred while I was writing the song that opens this album, Flame Turns Blue."
