"New Romantics" Lyrics

New Romantics Lyrics (1989 album)

Written by Taylor Swift, Max Martin & Shellback

We're all bored
We're oh so tired of everything
We wait for trains that just aren't coming
We show off our different scarlet letters-Trust me, mine is better
We're so young
That we're on the run to ruin
We play dumb
But we know exactly what we're doin'
We cry tears
Of mascara in the bathroom
Honey, life is just a classroom...

'Cause baby I could build a castle
Out of all the bricks they threw at me
And every day it's like battle
But every night with us is like a dream
Baby, we're the new romantics
Come on, come on along with me
Heart break is the national anthem
We sing it proudly
We are too busy dancing
To get knocked off our feet
Baby we're the new romantics
The best people in life are free

We're all here
The light and noise are blinding
We hang back, it's all in the timing
It's poker, he can't see in my face
But I'm about to play my ace
We need love
But all we want is danger
We team up, then switch sides like a record changer
The rumors are terrible and cruel
But, honey, most of them are true...

Chorus

Please take my hand and...
Please take me dancing...
Please leave me stranded...
It's so romantic...

Chorus

The best people in life are free...
So come on, come along with me...
The best people in life are free...
