We never play
kissy face in front of strangers
And we never run to each other in slow motion
No rolling around on the shore with sand between our toes
But I guess this is

A different kind of wonderful
-we're in love in the real world
It's not what I thought it would be but
I can't let this go
A different kind of happiness
-doesn't get more real than this
It's not what they said it would be but
I can't let this go

I didn't see
anything in you when we first met
-when I believed I would fall in love at first sight
Night after night we bared our souls over coffee
Now I know I love you

A different kind of wonderful
-we're in love in the real world
It's not what I thought it would be but
I can't let this go
A different kind of blissfulness
-we can't get more real than this
It's not what they said it would be but
I can't let it go

I never saw the fireworks
-the stars didn't fall from the sky
But this is more beautiful than a quick flash
I never saw a rainbow
-the stars didn't fall from the sky
But this is more meaningful than a quick flash
