Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I keep my phone face down
Like that will help me
I say “I’m fine” too fast
Then I don’t text back
I know your favorite fries
And your old college town
But when it’s just us two
I turn into a ghost
[Pre-Chorus]
I want the real thing
Not a maybe
I want your whole name
In my morning
[Chorus]
I want the real thing
I want the real thing
How do you do that?
How do you do that?
I keep the door unlocked
But I stand there alone
I want the real thing
I want the real thing
[Verse 2]
I overthink the joke
Before I tell it
I edit out my needs
Till they sound smaller
You ask me where I’m at
I give you weather
I talk in open hands
Then hide the ring
[Pre-Chorus]
I want the real thing
Not a hallway
I want a home base
I can fall into
[Chorus]
I want the real thing
I want the real thing
How do you do that?
How do you do that?
I keep the door unlocked
But I stand there alone
I want the real thing
I want the real thing
[Bridge]
Maybe I’m not cold
Just a little scared
Of being seen clear
And still staying there
If I say “stay”
Will you stay close?
If I reach first
Will you know?
[Chorus]
I want the real thing
I want the real thing
How do you do that?
How do you do that?
I keep the door unlocked
But I stand there alone
I want the real thing
I want the real thing
[Outro]
If you know the way
Say it slow
I’m right here
I’m learning how to know

Style
Indie pop with a mid-tempo swung groove, crisp muted guitar, elastic bass, and light four-on-the-floor kick; verse stays intimate with sparse drums and close-mic vocal doubles, pre-chorus opens with rising handclaps and filtered synth shimmer, chorus lands with stacked harmonies and a sing-back hook. Ear candy includes reverse piano swells, little bell hits between lines, and a final lift with wide vocal ad-libs. Bright, glossy, and emotionally close., indie pop
