Paper Romance

First off, I believe the chorus is:

"Yeah you can write me a love letter but there's nothing to say I don't wanna take a chance on your paper romance anyway

Yeah you can love me up much better If you come our way I don't wanna take a chance on your paper romance anyway"

To me, this song is about the love of money and material possessions. He doesn't want to risk selling his soul for money. He would be much more inclined to love it if he got rich, but it's not worth taking that chance. Confused creatures come alive in the electrified city streets with all of the glitz and glamor and things that seem real and valuable.

"The time it takes for us to change it's gonna happen anyway"

I love this line. I think he's saying by the time we as a society give up this self-destructive love of material wealth, society will have already self-destructed and we will have started over.

Beautiful song, I could be off base but this is what is in my heart every time I hear the song.

Male in verses claims that he loves her. Female in verses replies that his love is only on paper, not real, just paper romance

First of all I love this song!

I don't know why but I think this song means that he fell in love with a prostitute but he doesn't want a romance he has to pay for.

Let the correct lyrics for the album version of the song is this:

Taste it in the air so sweet Creatures they come alive Confliction on the city streets All of electrified

I feel your heat I never wanna let you go I rock to this beat I'm standing here to let you know

Yeah you can write me a love letter But there's nothing to say I don't wanna take a chance on your paper romance anyway Yeah you can rub me off much better If you come our away I don't wanna take a chance on your paper romance anyway

My golden heart beats for two My golden heart beats for you I feel our pain The time it takes For us to change It's gonna happen anyway

I feel your heat I never wanna let you know I rock to this beat I'm standing here to let you know

Yeah you can write me a love letter But there's nothing to say I don't wanna take a chance on your paper romance anyway Yeah you can rub me off much better If you come our away I don't wanna take a chance on your paper romance anyway

Yeah you can write me a love letter But there's nothing to say I don't wanna take a chance on your paper romance anyway Yeah you can rub me off much better If you come our away I don't wanna take a chance on your paper romance anyway

Yeah you can write me a love letter But there's nothing to say I don't wanna take a chance on your paper romance anyway Yeah you can rub me off much better If you come our away I don't wanna take a chance on your paper romance anyway
