Lyrics

Real Meaning

Don't change me

I'm going to break if you try

Don't change you

You know the tears I'm going to cry

And I sure will

Miss us when we're gone

You're the real meaning of the Sun

It shows you off to everyone

You're the real meaning of the Sun

It shows you off to everyone

The real meaning

I want the real meaning

Don't fix me

It breaks my heart to see you try

Don't fix you

And leave me for some other guy

And I sure will

Miss us when we’re done

You're the real meaning of the Sun

It shows you off to everyone

You're the real meaning of the Sun

It shows you off to everyone

When I'm thinking about you fondly

Then I'm thinking about the only

Real meaning of the Sun

You're the real meaning of the Sun

It shows you off to everyone

You're the real meaning of the stars

It guides me to the place you are

The real meaning, yeah

I want the real meaning

The real meaning, mm

I want the real meaning
