The Romantics

The romantics have it easy
They always know what to say
Cause their blood flows from their hearts
That bleeds through their pens and lands on the page
But if I could I’d write for you those words beating in my heart
But I’m sorry dear if I’m not so clear you see my pen is my guitar
I used to think that I could fly
I jumped off the tallest cliff I could find
You know I was flapping with all of my might
These arms, they weren’t made for flight
So I smashed into the ground
I broke my heart
And I damaged my crown
And as I was falling there was only one sound
The melody that I found
And it goes goodbye my sunshine
May you go shine on someone else
Goodnight my sweet dream
Well its so cold in reality
I see a sentimental parade of stares in my mind
And a photo album opens up every time I close my eyes
But if my life’s a patchwork quilt made up of everything I need
Then I thank you for the smiles and songs that light up this little piece
Then winter came it came like an old man with a cane
Rapping on the windowpane and yelling to keep it down
And the days they got cold and we both just felt so old
Things didn’t work out the way they were sold
I’m singing a song that goes
Goodbye my sunshine
May you go shine on someone else
Goodnight my sweet dream
You were so cold in reality
Like a broken down forgotten bus
Left on the side of the road all crying and covered in rust
Goodbye my sunshine
May you go shine on someone else
Goodnight my sweet dream
Well its so cold in reality
Goodnight...
