New Romantics

[Verse 1] We're all bored, we're all so tired of everything We wait for trains that just aren't coming We show off our different scarlet letters Trust me, mine is better We're so young, but we're on the road to ruin We play dumb, but we know exactly what we're doing We cry tears of mascara in the bathroom Honey, life is just a classroom (Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah) [Chorus] 'Cause baby, I could build a castle Out of all the bricks they threw at me And every day is like a battle But every night with us is like a dream Baby, we're the new romantics Come on, come along with me Heartbreak is the national anthem We sing it proudly We are too busy dancing to get knocked off our feet Baby, we're the new romantics The best people in life are free [Verse 2] We're all here, the lights and noise are blinding We hang back, it's all in the timing It's poker You can't see it in my face But I'm about to play my Ace (ahh) We need love, but all we want is danger We team up, then switch sides like a record changer The rumors are terrible and cruel But honey, most of them are true (Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah) [Chorus] 'Cause baby, I could build a castle Out of all the bricks they threw at me And every day is like a battle But every night with us is like a dream Baby, we're the new romantics Come on, come along with me Heartbreak is the national anthem We sing it proudly We are too busy dancing (yeah) to get knocked off our feet Baby, we're the new romantics The best people in life are free [Post-Chorus] (Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh) Oh-oh (Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh) So, come on, come along with me (Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh) The best people in life are free (Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh) [Bridge] Please take my hand and Please take me dancing, and Please leave me stranded It's so romantic (it's so romantic) (Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah) [Breakdown] Oh, 'cause baby, I could build a castle Out of all the bricks they threw at me And every day is like a battle, oh-oh But every night with us is like a dream [Chorus] 'Cause baby, I could build a castle (castle) Out of all the bricks they threw at me And every day is like a battle But every night with us is like a dream Baby, we're the new romantics Come on, come along with me Heartbreak is the national anthem We sing it proudly We are too busy dancing to get knocked off our feet Baby, we're the new romantics The best people in life are free
