Real Thing Lyrics

I'm so sick of thinking, staying up at night
I don't wanna play around, that ain't on my mind
When I think about her face, problems don't exist
But if I'm being honest with you

I'm tired of that fantasy, I'm tired of the daydream
Tired of just waiting to fall asleep to see you
I know it's imaginary but I think my mind is ready
Need to leave this sanctuary for something true

I just want the real thing
I just want the real thing

I want all the fights, you know
I want all the tears
I want all the conversations, tell me all your fears
'Cause I know that it's hard for you to trust
No one's ever given you enough
I might need to stop and give it up, eh

I'm tired of that fantasy, I'm tired of the daydream
Tired of just waiting to fall asleep to see you
I know it's imaginary but I think my mind is ready
Need to leave this sanctuary for something true

I just want the real thing
I just want the real thing
I just want the real thing
(I don't wanna think, I don't wanna live in fantasy)
Real thing
(I just want you here, I just want you in reality)

I just want the real, mm, real thing
I just want the real thing, oh oh
I just want the real, the real thing
(I don't wanna think, I don't wanna live in fantasy)
I just want the real thing
(I just want you here, I just want you in reality)
I just want you here
I just want you in reality

What is the Meaning of Real Thing?

In a world where the line between fantasy and reality is often blurred, our young crooner isn't afraid to demand authenticity. Ruel's track is a heartfelt plea for genuine connection, ditching the comfort of daydreams for the rawness of real-life love. He's not just after the butterflies and rainbows, but the full spectrum - tears, fights, fears and all. It's about yearning for something tangible beyond mere illusions or dreams. In short, he’s tired of sleepwalking through relationships and wants to wake up to a love that’s palpably real. Quite a mature perspective from someone so young! #RealLove #AuthenticityOverFantasy
