"Romantic In Me" lyrics

"Romantic In Me"

The romantic in me is looking for a place
To go for a while where titles and tinsel mean nothing
Beyond immediate gain, grateful am I
You'd made alterations and gave me space in your life to thrive
The doors of perception were relieved of their hinges
On the QT in your velour tracksuit
Like a quality street sweet lethal to the sugar fiend stumbling towards a depression
Only to arise victorious content with a sly smile

In the wind and the snow
Ah now where you gonna go
I'm the childhood friend
Coming back from the dead
Just to look you in the eye and say
It's me who is alive
It's me who is alive
Prove it!

The romantic in me is looking for a place
Just a brief getaway
The romantic in me is looking for escape
Just a brief getaway from self into we
The daily reprieve
Can you identify with periodical disillusionment
Can you relate to euphoric recall

In the wind and the snow
Ah now where you gonna go
I'm your childhood friend
Coming back from the dead
Just to look you in the eye and say
It's me who is alive
It's me who is alive
Prove it!

In the wind and the snow
Ah now where you gonna go
Dressed like that
I'm your childhood friend
Coming back from the dead
To look you in the eye and say
It's me who is alive
It's me who is alive
Prove it!
Prove it!
Prove it!

How can you wake up if you don't even know you've been sleeping
Is it not compulsory to dream where imagination gets shunned

How can you wake up if you don't even know you've been sleeping
Is it not compulsory to dream where imagination gets shunned

If imagination is unwelcome is it not compulsory to dream
