New Romance

[Verse 1]

Days go by

No reply, the smoke high on the avenue

You and I

Know that you're not gonna leave it anyway

Pick me up

I know you're close, the headlights running down the wall

[Chorus]

Last night, I'm messing up

Now I feel like dressing up

I-L-Y-S-F-M

[Verse 2]

Take my chances

New romances, eyes roll on the avenue

Left on red

Daylight moving backwards 'cause you're off again

Can you fly

Higher than a hawk flies in a black-star sky?

[Chorus]

Last night, I'm messing up

Now I feel like dressing up

I-L-Y-S-F-M

[Bridge]

Block after block with the speakers up

Night after night, we say our goodbyes

My love drips in red out of my mind at the edge of the sky

You feel your heart break and you don't know why

You're somebody else, somebody new

"Fuck it," you said, "It's beginning to look like the end"

So sick of swimming, I'm in over my head

No wrong or right, I know it's true

[Outro]

Last night, I'm messing up

Now I feel like dressing up

Last night, I'm messing up

Now I feel like dressing up
