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
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 it's like battle
But every night with us is like a dream
Baby we're the new romantics
Come on, come on along with me
Heart break 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
Buy honey most of them are true

Cause baby I could feel the castle
And I love it fix it's ruining me
And every day it's like battle
But every night feels just like a dream
Baby we're the new romantics
Come on, come on along with me
Heart break is the national anthem
We sing it properly
We are too busy dancing
To get knocked off our feet
Baby we're the new romantics
The best people in life for 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 feel the castle
And I love it fix it's ruining me
And every day it's like battle
But every night feels just like a dream

Cause baby I could feel the castle
And I love it fix it's ruining me
And every day it's like battle
But every night feels just like a dream
Baby we're the new romantics
Come on, come on along with me
Heart break is the national anthem
We sing it properly
We are too busy dancing
To get knocked off our feet
Baby we're the new romantics
The best people in life for free
