Tangible Romance

The beat gets loud as the lights start fading

Frustration seems so hard to blame

Simple-minded, small-minded, what's the difference anyways?

Like it's my fault this all seems so set in stone

And it's your fault that we're both drunk alone

Active minds enduring every idle day

You wake up happy only if you want it that way

It's autumn and 80 degrees

This good mood's right in front of me

Like a couple of beers in good company

But your vacancy ignites me

You choose peril to just feel justified

It's inconspicuous in your unashamed eyes

And in these pensive bathroom moments, you turn it up and think

I could die tonight if he'd just talk to me

If you found someone out on the road

You'd take it as a confident sign

And if I found someone down in florida

It wouldn't be the first time

It's like when romance became so tangible

Or when cynicism became so lovable

We depend upon these memories of content

And we'll lose this love without our own consent

The beat gets loud as the lights start fading

(And all I see are brown eyes through petty faces)
