NewRomantics

And so you wanna get happy now?
Drive out of this town, turn out on the highway
I'm on the corner of happiness
If love is like the movies, she's always in black and white

She said, baby, say you're bad for me
Underneath these blue skies staring in at my desire
We're on the edge of this timeless love scene
If we were in the movies we'd always be black and white

I really want you but I can't decide
If loving you is hurting you, just paint the skies
'Cause we're the new romantics, we're the new design
Nothing lasts forever, baby, we don't mind

So, you wanna get married now
Take my hand in your hand, tell me that your love has changed
I feel nothing but staged somehow
If love is like the movies, this is where we come around

She said, baby, you're the reason that I live
Your hair slicked back that you're just too cool talking
We're at the end of this timeless love scene
'Cause loves not like the movies 'cause no one likes black and white

I really want you but I can't decide
If loving you is hurting you, just paint the skies
'Cause we're the new romantics, we're the new design
Nothing lasts forever, baby, we don't mind

I know I want you but I can't make out
If loving you is forcing me to leave this town
We're the new romantics, we're the new design
Nothing lasts forever but we'll turn back time

(We'd argue and we'd fight)
(But at the end of it all, I knew)
(I'd fall back into your arms)
(You see, I know now that when you truly meet your soul mate)
(The person you're destined to be with)
(Nothing can tear you apart)

I really want you but I can't decide
If loving you is hurting you, just paint the skies
We're the new romantics, we're the new design
Nothing lasts forever, baby, we don't mind

I know I want you but I can't make out
If loving you is forcing me to leave this town
We're the new romantics, we're the new design
Nothing lasts forever but we'll turn back time

(I'd be lying if I said I didn't imagine we'd end up this way)
(I dreamt it so many times)
(But I was never her)
(I was always watching)
(From the sidelines)
