Hopeless Romantic
Is it a character flaw to be helpless when you're not around
Because I'm a hopeless romantic and as graceless as a rodeo clown
Like the punchline of a joke I once heard on this television show
And so the priest says to the actor, kid that's just how show business goes
I've forged all my friendships with the charm of a rock on the ground
And I've walked all those lines with the precision of a drunk in a crowd
So, am I coming through clearly? Do you read me now
Over and out
And when I'm gone I could haunt you, but only if you will allow
Just find me a white sheet that's long, with two eye-holes cut out
I'll shift and I'll shake all your dishes and rattle the walls
And if you hear a doorbell that's me saying, no, I love you more
And if the static on the tv starts making harmonious sounds
Well, am I coming through clearly? Do you read me now
Over and out
Because I'm a hopeless romantic and as graceless as a rodeo clown
Like the punchline of a joke I once heard on this television show
And so the priest says to the actor, kid that's just how show business goes
I've forged all my friendships with the charm of a rock on the ground
And I've walked all those lines with the precision of a drunk in a crowd
So, am I coming through clearly? Do you read me now
Over and out
And when I'm gone I could haunt you, but only if you will allow
Just find me a white sheet that's long, with two eye-holes cut out
I'll shift and I'll shake all your dishes and rattle the walls
And if you hear a doorbell that's me saying, no, I love you more
And if the static on the tv starts making harmonious sounds
Well, am I coming through clearly? Do you read me now
Over and out
