We Both

Lyrics

When I was with you, I was real
 When I was with you, I could be myself
 When I was with you, I didn't feel
 Lost, confused or frightened
 Or scared to be who I am
 When I was with you, I was real
 ♪
 We both think you look great in a knit sweater
 We both enjoy an empty cafe
 We both are actual human beings to waiters
 We both are not totally straight
 None of that changes
 None of that has changed
 Okay?
 Okay
 We both like drinking hot tea in warm weather
 We both like playing guitar
 We both like when you tell me the plots of bad movies
 We both forget our card at the bar
 Almost always
 When I was with you, I was real
 When I was with you, I could be myself
 When I was with you, I was real
 Like as real as my retainer
 That I left at your house one time
 When I am with you, I am real
 Now, do you remember what I said the first time we did the questions?
 About my perfect day?
 Yes
 You said that tomorrow could be the perfect day if we let it be
 That's not the kind of answer you forget
 Especially when the person answering it is wearing a low-cut blouse
 Mm, you thinking about my blouse?
 I'm remembering it
 Do you remember my answer?
 Ehh, the broad strokes
 Uh, picnic in the park with your family
 A mini-muffin basket for lunch
 Everyone getting together under a big blanket and watching the entire third season of The Office
 Still true
 And I'd still wanna be there with you
 Question five
 "When was the last time you sang to yourself? To someone else?"
 Uh, this afternoon
 To Henry
 What about to yourself?
 He only stayed for half
 Uhh, the last time I sang was on my way over here in the car
 You sang?!
 What did you sing?
 Oh, I'm gonna die out here
 Oh, that hit, I forgot about that one
 Yeah
 And I think, uh, that counts as me singing to someone else
 Ask me the next one
 Question six
 "If you were able to live to the age of 90
 And retain either the mind or body of a 30-year-old
 For the last 60 years of your life, which would you want?"
 Do you remember my answer?
 Body
 Do you remember mine?
 Mind
 See?
 Nothing has changed
 We're still a good half-sexy team
 Question seven
 "Do you have a secret hunch about how you will die?"
 You said that you thought you were gonna die in your car, but you weren't sure how
 Right?
 And you said that you weren't afraid of death
 And I'm still not
 I'm only afraid of dying alone
 Read the next one
 Uh, question eight
 "Name three things you and your partner appear to have in common."
 Easy
 We both are super good at Settlers of Catan
 We both become monsters when we lose
 We both think we have the best-worst name for a band
 We both check Twitter for our news
 There's four
 We both say the other is better at cooking
 We both hate that kitchen island we built
 We both need a glass of water on the bedside table
 We both recycle purely out of guilt
 We both have dreams much bigger than ourselves
 We both think that's how to live
 We both put up a fight for all the right reasons
 And we both eventually give
 I tried so hard to separate
 Who you are from who you were
 But now I'm reevaluating
 How similar you are to her
 You have the same voice
 And the same cadence when you speak
 If I close my eyes
 You still sound to me like Natalie
 When I was with you, I was real (Am I in love with Natalie?)
 When I was with you, I could be myself (Or who's right in front of me?)
 When I am with you, I can feel
 Shivers running down my spine
 Your skin close to mine
 It's like my five senses make my heart defenseless
 With you
 When I am with you, I am real (with you)
 When I am with you, I am actually too real (with you)
 When I am with you, everything feels (with you)
 So real
