Grand Romantic Pt.2

"Grand Romantic"

When you're with someone / and they sit there,
guarding their self, with selfish regard
And you understand / we all have to prepare
We have to protect / we have to be hard
But you give yourself
You've given everything and barely got any back
And it drains you out / it wears you down
Can't love do better than that?

We're tired of taking these baby steps yes
We're all grown up and we're not too impressed
Can't we do any better? or is the best that we get?
We won't settle for it! We want Love Writ Large
We want Love Writ Large
We want Love Writ Large
We want Love Writ Large

You want a love / where you are
not always the one / giving more
You want a love / where you don't have to feel like a fool,
like you're being used
You want a love / where you can let your heart overflow
and fill the world
There's a word for people like you
(and me too)

and we're tired of playing to be second best
We know what it's worth, and it isn't a guess
So can we do better, or is this the best
that we get?
We won't settle for it.
We want Love Writ Large
We want Love Writ Large
We want Love Writ Large
We want Love Writ Large

You've given everything and barely got any back
There's a word for people like you
(and me too)

And we're tired of taking these baby steps yes
We're all grown up and we're not too impressed
So can we do better, or is this the best
that we get?
We won't settle for it! We want Love Writ Large
We want Love Writ Large
We want Love Writ Large
We want Love Writ Large
