[Part I: Message In A Bottle]

[Verse]
I know that you like me, it's kinda frightening
Standing here waiting, waiting
And I became hypnotized, by freckles and bright eyes
Tongue-tied

[Pre-Chorus]
But now, you're so far away and I'm down
Feeling like a face in the crowd
I'm reaching for you, terrified

[Chorus]
'Cause you could be the one that I love
I could be the one that you dream of
Message in a bottle is all I can do
Standing here hoping it gets to you
You could be the one that I keep
And I could be the reason you can't sleep
At night, a message in a bottle is all I can do
Standing here hoping it gets to you

[Part II: How You Get The Girl]

[Intro]
Ah-ah, ah-ah, oh, oh, oh, oh
[Verse]
Stand there like a ghost, shaking from the rain, rain
She'll open up the door, then say "Are you insane-ane?"
Say "It's been a long six months"
And you were too afraid, to tell her what you want, want

[Pre-Chorus]
And that's how it works
That's how you get the girl

[Chorus]
Then you say "I want you for worse or for better
I would wait forever and ever
Broke your heart, I'll put it back together
I would wait forever and ever"
And that's how it works, that's how you get the girl, girl
Oh-oh, and that's how it works, that's how you get the girl, girl

[Part III: New Romantics]

[Intro]
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah

[Verse]
We're all bored, we're all so tired of everything
We wait for trains that just aren't coming
We show off, our different scarlet letters
Trust me, mine is better
We're so young, we're on the road to ruin
We play dumb, we know exactly what we're doing
We cry tears of mascara in the bathroom
Honey, life is just a classroom
[Pre-Chorus]
Ah-ah-ah-ah

[Chorus]
'Cause baby I could build a castle
Out of all the bricks they threw at me
And every day is like a battle
But every night with us is like a dream
Baby, we're the new romantics
C'mon, come along with me
Heartbreak is the national anthem
We sing it proudly
We are too busy dancing to get knocked off our feet
Baby, we're the new romantics
The best people in life are free

[Post-Chorus]
So c'mon, come along with me

[Bridge]
Please take my hand, and please take me dancing
And please me stranded, it's so romantic

[Pre-Chorus]
Ah-ah-ah-ah
[Chorus]
'Cause baby I could build a castle
Out of all the bricks they threw at me
And every day is like a battle
But every night with us is like a dream
And baby I could build a castle
Out of all the bricks they threw at me
And every day is like a battle
But every night with us is like a dream
So c'mon, come along with me
Heartbreak is the national anthem
We sing it proudly
We are too busy dancing to get knocked off our feet
Baby, we're the new romantics
The best people in life are free

[Part IV: How You Get The Girl / Message In A Bottle]

[Verse]
And that's how it works, that's how you get the girl
That's how it works, ah-ah, that's how you get the girl
Ah, you could be the one that I love, oh
You could be my love, my love
And now I'm standing here, hoping it gets to you
