It's easy sometimes when you just coast along But like it or not something always seems to go wrong Sometimes people build you up just so they can knock you down Sometimes they will have you there 'cause they need someone around Perhaps you'll receive invitations for tea Perhaps you'll laugh and make them all smile Or maybe you'll join them 'cause it had to be Perhaps you'll forget you forgot for awhile Birds of a feather are flocking outside Like whippets they dance in a curly-queue dance Of pulses and ringing and campfire chants Of ritual drumming although at first glance You thought you could run but you won't take a chance It's not an experience if they can't bring someone along They hang on emotions they bottle inside They peck at the ground And strut out of stride

Why don't you come 'round in the afternoon? Stay 'til the morning, I got nothing to do I pretty promise that we won't get bored I've got feelings that I can't ignore After I saw you and the party was dead I tried to steal you from your burnt out friends Making small talk, should've asked you then In my drafts, I've got a text to send We could watch an '80s movie Cut the lights and make it moody Put your arms around my waist Let our bodies fade away Let's make out to Dirty Dancing Be the latest new romantics Hold me close while we escape To a world that's far away, away from here Take me, take me Take me away, oh, take me Take me away from here I could be your homecoming queen Or star player on your favorite team Me and you, up on the silver screen Come on, baby, don't you ever leave Can you blame me if I'm paranoid? Everything I loved has been destroyed Maybe you'll be my anomaly If I keep you here in '83 We could watch an '80s movie Cut the lights and make it moody Put your arms around my waist Let our bodies fade away Let's make out to Dirty Dancing Be the latest new romantics Hold me close while we escape To a world that's far away, away from here Take me, take me Take me away, oh, take me Take me away from here Take me, take me Take me away, oh, take me Take me away from here

You can love most of the people Most of the time Now and again if you're lookin' I'm sure you will find Someone who's helplessly hoping That someday They'll finally find the one Hopeless romantics keep hoping that Someday will come Used to be you could be sure That a warrior was true Nowadays everyone knows that it's cool to be blue Constantly circling close to the flame And then stopping on a dime Hopeless romantics will go down in flames every time Hopeless romantics drop everything and run When they find a broken heart Always afraid that they're missing someone With time on their hands and a missing part So one of these nights When you're sitting at home all alone And you've finally admitted you're lonely Right down to the bone You might as well get on out in it 'Cause you've got everything to lose And hopeless romantics are always At home with the blues And a broken heart Find the missing part Hopeless romantics are usually Hopelessly true

Don't hold your breath I don't think we got much time left We tried our best Maybe now we lay this to rest The hope we had Is falling through our hands like sand Do you ever think we had a chance? Now I see it when I'm looking back We were hopeless romantics How did this happen? Baby, our love was beautiful, now it's tragic We were hopeless romantics But I can't imagine Falling in love with anybody else Anybody else One last time I wanna feel your skin touching mine When we said goodbye I don't wanna see you cry Or put up a fight All I ask Is you remember all the times we had Hope the memories they make you laugh And you see it when you looking back We were hopeless romantics How did this happen? Baby, our love was beautiful, now it's tragic We were hopeless romantics But I can't imagine Falling in love with anybody else Anybody else We put our all in But now we're falling We didn't know when to call it Now we're touching down Put our all in But now we're falling It all makes sense to me now We were hopeless romantics How did this happen? Baby, our love was beautiful, now it's tragic We were hopeless romantics And I can't imagine You falling in love with anybody else We were hopeless romantics How did this happen? Baby, our love was beautiful, now it's tragic We were hopeless romantics And I can't imagine Falling in love with anybody else Don't hold your breath I don't think we got much time left

Our day will come And we'll have everrytning We'll share the joy Falling in love can bring No one can tell me that i'm to young to know I love you so And you love me Our day will come If we just wait awhile No tears for us Think love and wear a smile Our dreams have magic because We'll always stay in love this way Our day will come Our dreams have magic because We'll always stay in love this way Our day will come Our day will come Our day will come
