Hopeless Romantic

I always thought that I would get that happy end
Or that's what I thought I deserved
But when did I get so emotional and this insecure
I'm not sure

No, life ain't black and white it's grey
And every damn day feels the same
Because when you hit twenty you're just headed for plenty mistakes

But that silver lining
Has got perfect timing
I can't help but panic because I'm kind of a Hopeless Romantic

I like to think I'm old-fashioned but I guess I'm just old
Because instead of a face on a screen I'd rather be cold

But you wrote my name down
And my lonely heart had been found
I feel like it's gone manic because I'm kind of a Hopeless Romantic

Once in a while, I like to make up stories
About the time in the future when we've just turned forty
We'll repeat our rendition of the hopeless condition
That somehow opened the door

But I wake up on the train
Listening to nothing but rain
Stuck in a moment I find fleeting hope but I know it's just followed with pain

In my mind, I can be what I want
I can say I'm phased by nothing at all
But now my train's at Botanic and I'm still just a Hopeless Romantic
I'm just a Hopeless Romantic
I'm kind of a Hopeless Romantic
I guess I'm a Hopeless Romantic
