[Verse 1] Love breaks a heart Then kicks it on down the road Love scrapes and scars And it makes you do things That you've been told will make things worse [Verse 2] By dear Mama she told me "Son You can go ask lots of questions But when it comes to one You can ask but"— [Chorus] "you can't count on a fountain Don't you buy that notion You can ask where the skies meet the ocean How far there is to go Where does it all come from Ask all of the things that you think you wanna know But you can't attach that bag of hopes and dreams To anything promising a nomadic thing Son there's one thing you need to understand" But I'm a hopeless romantic And the one thing that I can't bring myself not to do [Verse 3] (so) when Love spoke a gentle whisper to arouse me from my sleep Boys she had to keep to the shadows I arose In a flash the trail of indiscriminate passion I followed Till it fell to nothing Where am I But it's alright [Verse 4] 'cause it's quite easy to imagine On a silver screen where she's barely clothed Shooting stars across my eyes [Chorus] It gets way too real Can't count on a fountain Don't you buy that notion You can ask where the skies meet the ocean How far there is to go Where does it all come from Just don't shoot your dreams off at the stars above And don't do it to me Set those things aside Don't tie 'em to me lovin' I'm a hopeless romantic And it happens all the time (happens all the time)
