Lyrics

Fiction Romance (Demo)

[Verse 1]

A fiction romance, lovely love stories

Never seems to happen in my life

A fiction romance, all love is glorious

Never seem to happen in my life

[Chorus 1]

Dreams of love, and dreams of pain

And dreams again, again, again, again

Which can be yours just by taking hold

Dreams that I can realize

Are quite contained within your eyes

I know that fiction romance is not sold

[Verse 2]

Fiction romance, the love of the ages

Never seems to happen in my life

A fiction romance on magazine pages

Never seems to feature in my life

[Chorus 2]

Dreaming, scheming, unaware that

Quiet somewhere, some unaware folk

Are not thinking 'bout what they have been told

I don't know what's happenin' to

The way I see the world I view

Ah, fiction romance is not so old

[Verse 3]

Fiction romantic, I never expected

All these things to happen in real life

And no fiction romantic could ever've predicted

All the things that happen in my life

[Chorus 3]

When I don't know what to do

I just think about me and you

I was a little stronger then I'd be bold

But something is happening to me

I don't know what these shivers mean to you

Is this the fiction and a romance getting hold?

[Outro]

Romance, a fiction romance

A fiction romance, a fiction romance

A fiction romance, a fiction romance

A fiction romance, a fiction romance

Romance, fiction romance

Fiction romance, fiction romance

Fiction romance, fiction romance

Fiction romance
