New Romantics Lyrics & Chords By Hands Like Houses

A hopeless romantic
Self-medicated on reality
A misunderstanding
Is all that anyone can see in me

Pulling up the floor to go deeper down
Tearing at the soil to find the ground

I'm trying to find myself, coming back to the same words
To try to tell a different story
I'm farther from myself, coming back to the same words
In hope they come alive without me

A moment's reflection
Has given me a second chance to heal
A loss of connection
In matching up my words to how I feel

Pulling up the floor to go deeper down
Tearing at the soil to find the ground

I'm trying to find myself, coming back to the same words
To try to tell a different story
I'm farther from myself, coming back to the same words
In hope they come alive without me

I've taken on too much, empty pages on the floor
Tearing volumes from the shelf to find what I've been looking for
(Then it hit me)

Well, I haven't changed
I'm still the same man I was before
Well, I haven't changed
I'm still the same man I was

Just trying to find myself, coming back to the same words
To try to tell a different story
I'm farther from myself, coming back to the same words
In hope they come alive without me

I'm trying to find myself, coming back to the same words
I'm farther from myself, coming back to the same words
