Romantics

You didn't have to carry me
And I don't mean I could have made it on my own
I just mean you didn't have to
But you did

I've made this pretty hard for you
And along the way, I've made it hard for me as well
But I will grow out of acting
Like a kid

I'm just gonna say thank you
So the sorry doesn't sting
You make me feel like
I wanna feel something

I didn't have to anything
You made me want to, and that's pretty hard to do
But I only crossed the line
Because you shoved

And when we're looking back on this
Maybe it'll all seem more romantic than it feels
But I don't need that much romance
To feel loved

I'm just gonna say thank you
So the sorry doesn't sting
You make me feel like
I wanna feel something

I'm just gonna say thank you
So the sorry doesn't sting
You make me feel like
I wanna feel something

An olive branch
To make my nest
Watch the storm clouds as they pass on by
'Til I find out
I'm tired of rest
Safe enough to be wondering why I'd want blue sky

And on the day
I cure my cough
I'll replace it with a new torch song
Backpacks on
Setting off
To seek out the romantics and find out they're wrong

'Cause they don't know
How life can be
When it's not the one that you predict
They see despair
As vague ennui
And they don't understand that those might contradict

The hand of fate
Might never strike
But I'll make myself a lightning rod
There's nothing more
Human-like
Than to laugh in the presence of an absent god

But it could go
Way too far
Thoughts and prayers are dangerous when mixed
An ankle breaks
On cobble path
And if broken is perfect, then it won't get fixed

But in the stars
Something warns
I'll want more to do than just survive
To see the rose
Before the thorns
Because that is the one thing keeping us alive

I wanna feel something
I wanna feel something
I wanna feel something
I wanna feel something

I wanna feel something
I wanna feel something
I wanna feel something
And know it's true

I wanna feel something (I wanna feel something)
I wanna feel something (I wanna feel something)
I wanna feel something (I wanna feel something)
I wanna feel something (I wanna feel something)

I wanna feel something (I wanna feel something)
I wanna feel something (I wanna feel something)
I wanna feel something
And know it's true

I wanna feel something (I wanna feel something)
I wanna feel something (I wanna feel something)
I wanna feel something (I wanna feel something)
With you
