Back when I was a romantic I wanted to dance
And spend every waking moment inside of your trance
I wanted to hug you and kiss you and love you and squeeze you
And all of those cliches that mean that I need you
Or maybe just hang out and bullshit in your room all day
Back when I was a romantic I had all the luck
We’d sit in your bed for hours, watch Netflix and fuck
And then we’d order a pizza, get wine drink and cheap beer
Lay under the covers, and then we’d just stay there
For hours and hours till we passed out in each other’s arms
Cause the only thing I needed then was you
Back when I was a romantic, I thought we could last
Thought we could build a future, but lived in the past
And I guess that was the problem, I did that for too long
And I never grew up and you changed and moved on
And I couldn’t blame you, but it doesn’t make it hurt much less
Cause the only thing I really want is you… you!
