[Verse 1]
Red rock and dust
The mountains look like red meat chunks
Little darlings, bison sign
There’s kindness in those Vegas-girl eyes
Driven north so many times
And every billboard’s like some shitty pick-up line
Saying they’ll save you when you die

[Chorus]
Spent some years so serious and sad
But then I realized breathing brings enough of that
Can you feel my heart expanding?
Swallowing sunsets and getting used to the real thing
The real thing

[Verse 2]
Night bus at 2am
Raindrops like liquid lights
Hanging out with all your friends
On the cobbled streets where we met that one night
Far away from my paved LA teens
Or the freshwater creeks
Filled with horse piss and elk teeth
The way you see it’s all roses and mystery
But it’s been big skies and half-empty clubs for me
[Chorus]
Spent some years so serious and sad
But then I realized breathing brings enough of that
Can you feel my heart expanding?
Swallowing sunsets and getting used to the real thing

Spent some years so serious and sad
But then I realized breathing brings enough of that
Can you feel my heart expanding?
Swallowing sunsets and getting used to the real thing

[Outro]
The real, real thing
The real thing
The real, real thing
The real
The real
