New Romantics (Taylor’s Version) Lyrics

We're all bored, we're all so tired of everything

We wait for trains that just aren't comin'

We show off our different scarlet letters

Trust me, mine is better

We're so young, but we're on the road to ruin

We play dumb, but we know exactly what we're doin'

We cry tears of mascara in the bathroom

Honey, life is just a classroom

Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah, ah

'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, come on, come along with me

Heartbreak is the national anthem, we sing it proudly

We are too busy dancin' to get knocked off our feet

Baby, we're the new romantics

The best people in life are free

We're all here, the lights and noise are blinding

We hang back, it's all in the timing

It's poker, he can't see it in my face

But I'm about to play my Ace, ahh

We need love, but all we want is danger

We team up, then switch sides like a record changer

The rumors are terrible and cruel

But, honey, most of them are true

Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah, ah

'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, come on, come along with me

Heartbreak is the national anthem, we sing it proudly

We are too busy dancin' (Yeah) to get knocked off our feet (Hey)

Baby, we're the new romantics

The best people in life are free

(Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh) Oh

(Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh) So, come on, come along with me

(Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh) The best people in life are free

(Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh)

Please, take my hand and

Please, take me dancing and

Please, leave me stranded

It's so romantic (It's so romantic)

Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah, ah

(Oh-oh)

'Cause baby, I could build a castle

Out of all the bricks they threw at me (At me)

And every day is like a battle (Oh-oh-oh, oh)

But every night with us is like a dream (Is like a dream)

'Cause baby, I could build a castle (Castle)

Out of all the bricks they threw at me (And)

And every day is like a battle (Oh)

But every night with us is like a dream

Baby, we're the new romantics, come on, come along with me

Heartbreak is the national anthem, we sing it proudly

We are too busy dancin' (Hey) to get knocked off our feet

Baby, we're the new romantics

The best people in life are free

Meaning

"New Romantics" captures the essence of a generation that embraces a modern, unconventional approach to love and life. The lyrics reflect the collective spirit of a group that finds joy in dancing, living freely, and facing challenges with resilience.

The opening lines convey a sense of shared weariness and boredom but also suggest a rebellion against the mundane aspects of life. The chorus becomes an anthem for turning negativity into something positive. Taylor Swift expresses her ability to rise above criticism and build something beautiful from the obstacles thrown her way, symbolized by the metaphorical castle made of bricks.

The title "New Romantics" references the idea of redefining romance in a contemporary context. Instead of conforming to traditional expectations, the song celebrates the idea that heartbreak can be an anthem, and dancing is a means of avoiding being knocked off one's feet by life's challenges.

The bridge introduces a plea for connection and romance, as Swift asks to be taken dancing and left stranded, emphasizing the romantic allure of spontaneity and adventure. The overall message is clear: life is meant to be celebrated, and the best people in life are those who embrace it freely.

With its upbeat and energetic sound, "New Romantics" becomes a declaration of individuality, a celebration of resilience, and an invitation to join in the joyous, carefree spirit of the new romantics. It reflects Swift's ability to turn personal experiences and challenges into empowering anthems that resonate with a broad audience.
