Lyrics Mary Chapin Carpenter

Mary Chapin Carpenter

That's Real

I'm not made of stone, I'm not made of glass

I've been alone, every one has

I've learned to forgive what I'm not

I just try to live with what I've got

Maybe I've got what you need

If you need something that not only feels right

Something that's based on a real life

One thing that's worth every page of the deal

Not some old line or rose colored dream

Not some other time, you know what I mean

When I tell you that this is all that it seems and that's real

How far can I crawl out on this limb?

There's so far to fall and here comes the wind

There's so much to lose but love doesn't wait

So I'll be a fool who found out too late

But I've been a fool for far lesser things

And I want something that not only feels right

Something that's based on a real life

One thing that's worth every page of the deal

Not some old line or rose colored dream

Not some other time, you know what I mean

When I tell you that this is all that it seems and that's real

Not some old line or rose colored dream

Not some other time, you know what I mean

When I tell you that I'm, I'm all that I seem and that's real

And that's real

And that's real

And that's real
