[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
[Verse 2]
We're so young, we're on the road to ruin
We play dumb, we know exactly what we're doing
We cry tears of mascara in the bathroom
Honey, life is just a classroom
[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 3]
We're all here, the lights and noise are blinding
We hang back, it's all in the timing
It's poker, he can't see it in my face
But I'm about to play my ace
[Verse 4]
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
[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
[Post-Chorus]
Woah
So, come on, come along with me
The best people in life are free
[Bridge]
Please, take my hand and
Please, take me dancing and
Please, leave me stranded
It's so romantic (It's so romantic)
[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
