[Intro] [instrumental solo] [verse 1] Sit next to my emotions Wondering where my devotion lies My world doesn’t sing when I see your eyes This cognitive dissonance Keeps comfortable distance Between me and myself but I [Pre chorus ] Well I find it kinda boring within these lines Lines [sustained vibrato] Lines [chorus] Hopelessly unromantic Can’t fall in love I just float right by it I’m hopelessly unromantic This pedestal you put me on Will tumble to the ground So don’t hold my hand love ‘cause I will surely drag you down Hopelessly unromantic unenchanted somehow [verse] There’s a photograph that’s fading on the mantel by the door, And I swear your smile still brightens up this lonely room once more. The years may keep on rolling like a river to the sea, But every winding mile somehow brings you back to me. [Chorus] So here’s to the dreams we borrowed, And the love we couldn’t keep, To the promises we made In the hours meant for sleep. Though the night grows long around me, And the dawn feels far away, You’ll be the song my heart remembers At the end of every day. [verse 1] Count petals pulled from daisies Count reasons you can’t count on me See the wildflowers scattered on the floor Oh so many songs are sung for Romantic antics, loves big great grandeur [Pre chorus ] Well I find it kinda boring within these lines Lines [sustained vibrato] Lines [chorus] Hopelessly unromantic Can’t fall in love I just float right by it I’m hopelessly unromantic This pedestal you put me on Will tumble to the ground So don’t hold my hand love ‘cause I will surely drag you down Hopelessly unromantic unenchanted somehow~ [bridge] Lonely with you Lonely without I guess the common factor’s me I can’t feel my heart It’s cold and it’s dark In this room but I cannot sleep When I return to the Bridges I’ve burned I find I miss the company But it’s not fair to you To treat you like I do So leave me lonely Leave me lonely Verse 3 I’ve danced with strangers in the spotlight, worn a hundred different smiles, Traveled roads that stretched forever, crossed a thousand lonely miles. But the applause fades like an echo, and the crowds all disappear, Leaving only quiet moments and the wish that you were here. Bridge Maybe somewhere you’re still dreaming, Maybe somewhere you’re still mine, Or perhaps we’re just two memories Lost between the hands of time. Still I raise a glass to fortune, Though she never played things fair, For she gave me one sweet season And a love beyond compare. [Pre-Chorus] I keep the door in my chest unlocked For a specter that won’t come back I keep my hope in the corner of my heart Even when it splits in half [Chorus] I need your ghost tonight I need your ghost tonight This house still says your name This house still says your name I need your ghost tonight I need your ghost tonight If you’re gone forever What am I really waiting for? [outro] I’m hopelessly unromantic Can’t fall in love I just float right by it I’m hopelessly unromantic This pedestal you put me on Will tumble to the ground So don’t hold my hand love ‘cause I will surely drag you down [vocals only ] Hopelessly unromantic, unenchanted Hopelessly unromantic, unenchanted Hopelessly unromantic Unenchanted somehow [alto saxophone solo] [fade] [end]
