Romance To Me Lyrics

I haven't seen you in ages
But it's not as bleak as it seems
The tears have stained all the pages
It is all a romance to be

Since you've been gone, I've faded
But I reach out and you go forth
My ears have gone in phases
It is all a romance to me

Romance To Me
Romance I see

There's a joy in my eyes, I can't deny
but only to those who knows me
Replaced by the sadness and longing
Is the romance you'd given to me

I still hear the bells when I walk
But the movie has changed its key
I'm touched by your breath as I sleep
It is all a romance to me

Romance to me
Romance I see

Romance to me
Romance I see

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for Romance To Me lyrics by Empire of the Sun

I believe some of the lyrics are incorrect. It goes like:

(This whole thing): {"There's a joy in my eyes, I can't deny. But only to those who know me. Replaced by the sadness and longing, Is the romance you've given to me."}

and

A few Words: "I still hear the bells when I walk, But the {melody} has changed its key. I'm touched by your breath as I sleep. It is all a romance to me."
