We're all bored
We're oh 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

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

We're all here,
the lights and boys 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
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

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

So come on, come on along with me
The best people in life for free

Please take my hand
And please take me dancing
And please leave me stranded it's so romantic

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

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
