we never play kissy-face in front of strangers
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 d 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 think i know you

a different kind of wonderful
cause 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

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
it doesn t get more real than this
it s not what they said it would be
but i can t let this go
no i can t let it go
no i can t let it go
