Hopeless Romantic

V1) i just wanna walk for miles/ talking about nothing with you/ introduce ourselves to strangers/ making fun of all the stupid things we do/ but, you prefer candlelit dinners/ and sending me anonymous bouquets/ yeah, it might be cute, but it’s not/ an expression of genuine feelings/

Chorus) as sweet/ as the love letters may be/ and as nice/ as the butterflies may seem/ when the roses and the perfume fade/ and you’ve found you’ve got nothing to say/ i’ll be unimpressed by everything i see/ you’re just a hopeless romantic/ something i’ll never be/

V2) i just wanna sleep beside you/ knowing that i’m safe here in your arms/ i don’t need chocolate or flowers/ i just want your smile, your wit, your charm/ but, you prefer to watch the sunset and hold my hand while wishing upon stars/ yeah, i think it’s cute, but is it/ really everything that we are?/

V3) because there’s this notion that “romance” is something i should not refuse/ and i appreciate the little things, but that’s not all you should do/ a real relationship needs to go beyond what is cute/ it’s not enough for me, scattered rose petals and perfume/
