New Romantics
Travis-Atreo Lyrics

We’re all bored, we're all so tired of everything
We are all exhausted and fed up with the monotony of life.

We wait for trains that just aren’t coming
We hope for something that is unlikely to happen.

We show off our different scarlet letters
We proudly display our unique flaws and experiences.

Trust me, mine is better.
Believe me, my scarlet letter is more compelling or interesting than others'.

We’re so young, but we're on the road to ruin
Despite our youth, we are knowingly heading towards self-destruction.

We play dumb, we know exactly what we're doing
We pretend to be clueless, but we are fully aware of our actions and their consequences.

We cry tears of mascara in the bathroom
We express our emotions and vulnerability in private.

Honey, life is just a classroom.
Sweetheart, life is a constant learning experience.

'Cause baby, I could build a castle
Because darling, I can create something strong and beautiful

Out of all the bricks they threw at me
Using all the criticism and negativity aimed towards me as building blocks.

And everyday is like a battle
Every day is a struggle or challenge.

But every night with us is like a dream.
But every night spend together feels magical and perfect.

Baby, we're new romantics
Darling, we embody a modern form of romanticism.

Come on, come along with me
Join me on this exhilarating journey.

Heartbreak is the national anthem
Heartbreak is a common and prevalent theme for us.

We sing it proudly
We embrace heartbreak and wear it as a badge of honor.

We're too busy dancing
We are too occupied with enjoying life and having fun.

To get knocked off our feet
To allow anything or anyone to disrupt or affect our happiness.

Baby, we're the new romantics
Darling, we represent a contemporary generation that rejects traditional notions of love.

The best people in life are free.
The most remarkable individuals are those who are unbound and unrestricted.

We’re all here, the lights and noise are blinding
We are all present in this overwhelming and distracting environment.

We hang back, it's all in the timing
We choose to stay reserved and observe, recognizing that timing is crucial.

It’s poker, he can't see it in my face
It's a game of strategy, and they cannot read my thoughts or emotions.

But I'm about to play my ace.
But I am ready to unleash my most powerful move or advantage.

We need love, but all we want is danger
We crave love, but we are attracted to the thrill and excitement of danger.

We team up then switch sides like a record changer
We form alliances, only to change allegiance easily and quickly.

The rumors are terrible and cruel
The gossip and rumors about us are unpleasant and hurtful.

But, honey most of them are true.
But my dear, a significant portion of those rumors are accurate.

Please take my hand and
I implore you to hold my hand and

Please take me dancing
Escort me onto the dance floor

Please leave me stranded
Please abandon me in an unknown or adventurous situation

It's so romantic.
It is incredibly romantic and thrilling.
