An Honest Romance

Do you know how long it takes to get from scotland to dalston?
I didn't think twice I just got on
But if I had thought there might have been a problem
I'd have spared my time instead of feeling hopeless in transit
Fucking hopelessly romantic
The second my feet hit the london concrete
I was gripped by the feeling that I had set myself up

For another defeat
Isn't it sad how much I want to believe in an honest romance?
Am I naive?
Just because she kissed me it doesn't mean she wants me
Why did I come here?

The vocal chords of all the friends that recognised me
Asked if I had come this far just to sit and drink alone in this bar
Were you not this side of town just last week?
Heard that you and a friend did a killer duet at alibi karaoke
The rain it poured and so did the wine
One more glass and this should all be fine
So here's to impulsivity
And all the times I've worn my heart on my sleeve

For another defeat
Isn't it sad how much I want to believe in an honest romance?
Am I naive?
Just because she kissed me it doesn't mean she wants me
Why did I come here?
