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, 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 class room

Cause baby I can build the castle

And out of all the bricks they threw with me

And everyday is like a battle

But every night with us is like a dream

We're the new romantics

Come on come along with me

Heartbreak is the national anthem, we sing it proudly

We're 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 boy 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 and switch up like a record changer

The rumors are terrible and cruel

But honey most of them are true

Cause baby I can build the castle

And out of all the bricks they threw with me

And everyday is like a battle

But every night with us is like a dream

We're the new romantics

Come on come along with me

Heartbreak is the national anthem, we sing it proudly

We're too busy dancing to get knocked off our feet

Baby we're the new romantics

The best people in life are free

So come along with me

The best people in life are free
