Lyrics
v1
A romantic sentimentalist ? that?s what I hear them say
You could solve the problems of the universe
And I would sit here for days
A romantic sentimentalist ? a heart pumping blood on my sleeve
And if you don?t make the time you wont make the grade
v2
A romantic sentimentalist ? plenty of us to be found
We come out of the woodwork
When a tear drop hits the ground
A romantic sentimentalist ? an addiction of the soul
And if you don?t make the time you wont make the grade
Your eyes would shine if you let yourself be taken away
chorus
How many times can a broken cup be filled?
Who reads the signs of an unprotected will?
Sunlight?s divine when it falls across my window sill
And all of us know there?s a long way to go
v3
A romantic sentimentalist
With an eye for a line and an ear for a tune
And I?m always a conversationalist
If you?re looking to waste the whole afternoon
And everybody?s talking about it
Everybody?s lived a lot of it
Everybody?s sick to death of it but where buying it all of the time
