Hopeless Romantic

The Bouncing Souls Hopeless Romantic Lyrics

Peter William Steinkopf

Do you remember the days gone by?
Or is there no point for us to even try
Back when we didn't have a care in the world
Getting drunk and chasing girls

Do you remember the days gone past?
How we always wanted the good times to last
The time we spent hanging out
Is how we learned what life is about

Everything is set for the perfect night
When music's playing and it sounds just right
It gets inside and it helps to be
All that you want, you are

Those times that we all hoped would last
It seems that they've gone by so fast
I woke up one day and I was 25 with a hell of a hangover
And some demented sense of pride

All we had was our dreams
That's all we needed to be free
To be free, to be free, to be free

After the party, came and went
I found myself half bent
I had to stop and look around
And my friends were all I found

All these things I thought were wrong
But these contradictions they made me strong
Now I know I can be free
And it all came from inside of me

All we had was our dreams
That's all we needed to be free
To be free, to be free, to be free

Do you remember? I do
Do you remember? I do
Do you remember? I do
Do you remember? I do

I do, I do, I do
I do, I do, I do


2.Kid

Peter William Steinkopf

You're a good kid, play the game to break your heart
You've gotta get back to where you started
Pay attention now or it'll slip by
It's your heart don't let it die, leave it all behind
Oh, let you die

Is it true when we get old our hearts die?
I heard it in a movie once and I think I know why
Life it sucks so bad it makes you wanna die
Whoa, but you get by

Life goes by, life goes by
Life goes by

You're a good kid, you've still got the fire in you
Hangin' around, you don't know what to do
Don't think too much, just let it loose

Get up, now's your chance we are here
And we make you dance
You are not alone this is our home

Life goes by, life goes by
Life goes by

4.Wish Me Well (You Can Go to Hell)

Lyricist:Greggory A. Attonito, Shalendar S. Khichi, Bryan T. Kienlen,
Peter William Steinkopf

I've got to be me baby and you gotta be you
Something isn't right but I know I love you
I only want what's best I don't know Is this
Some kind of test. Yeah and you're failing
All we do is bicker

Say goodbye Kiss my ass I hope you die
Wish me well You can go to hell

We were so different a short time ago Love
Is suppose to make us happy supposed to make us grow
But I just wanna punch you in the face
I love you I guess needed the space
Oh well another time and another place

Say goodbye Kiss my ass I hope you die
Wish me well You can go to hell


5.Bullying The Jukebox

Lyricist:Greggory A. Attonito, Shalendar S. Khichi, Bryan T. Kienlen,
Peter William Steinkopf

Well, I walked into the bar and I put in twenty bucks
Because I know people's taste in music sucks
About four hours had passed
Forty picks and my empty glass
A tasty number all dressed in black
Tried to rock us with her wack attack

There was no fuss, we knew her game
You look great but all your songs are lame

Bullying the jukebox because it's fun
You can't get near it until we're done
Bullying the jukebox because we rule
All the songs we like are really cool

Songs of punk and songs of joy
Love songs about girls and boys
Songs of metal and English stuff
And some hardcore songs to make us feel tough

But we all agreed that the songs of woe
And the songs of loved ones who had to go
Churned up memories of times we dreamt that
Got us all verklempt

Bullying the jukebox because it's fun
You can't get near it until we're done
Bullying the jukebox because we rule
All the songs we like are really cool

Whoa, because it's fun
Whoa, until we're done
Whoa, because we rule
Whoa, really cool

Drank until our last song
We paid our tab and we said so long
Swerving in and out of cars
It's off to rock another bar

Bullying the jukebox because it's fun
You can't get near it until we're done
Bullying the jukebox because we rule
All the songs we like are really cool

Whoa, because it's fun
Whoa, until we're done
Whoa, because we rule
Whoa, really cool

Bullying the jukebox because it's fun
You can't get near it until we're done
Bullying the jukebox because we rule
All the songs we like are really cool

Whoa, because it's fun
Whoa, until we're done
Whoa, because we rule
Whoa, we're really cool, hey


6.Fight to Live

Lyricist:Greggory A. Attonito, Shalendar S. Khichi, Bryan T. Kienlen,
Peter William Steinkopf

Tonight we're alone
And the music is right
Do you feel good ?
Do you feel alright tonight?

I'm out on the streets tonight
I'm with a few friends so it feels alright
Shouting out loud to this song doesn't do it
If it doesn't sink in then I say screw it

Same old vices not much to dream about
Is there anything left to fight about
Fight to live is the only fight
I've got left in me

Well, I've never been the same since that first show
I close my eyes and let myself go
To a place I'm never alone or scared
Somehow I had a reason a reason to care

I get so lost in it, I get so lost in it
I get so lost in it, I get so lost in it
Live to fight, fight to live
Live to fight, fight to live

Tonight we're alone
And the music is right
Tonight do you feel good
Do you feel alright?

Tonight we're alone
And the music is right
Tonight do you feel good
Do you feel alright, tonight?

I'm on the train and I've got my phones
People all around but I'm good all alone
I won't worry what I need to be
Wherever I am is the place to be
Wherever I am that's the place to be

Tonight we're alone
And the music is right
Tonight do you feel good
Do you feel alright?

Tonight we're alone
And the music is right
Tonight do you feel good
Do you feel alright, tonight?
We feel good we feel alright, tonight


7.Monday Morning Ant Brigade

Lyricist:Greggory A. Attonito, Shalendar S. Khichi, Bryan T. Kienlen,
Peter William Steinkopf

Monday morning, I woke up late
I feel like shit and I can't see straight
One last drink was a bad idea
I'm on the bowl with diarrhea

Out the door in a fog
Barked at by the neighbors dog
Forgot my keys, I went back inside
I got a flat, so I can't ride
The phone rings, aw jeez, now what?
I'm an idiot, so I pick it up, hello

Now I'm held up on my line
My cretin landlord, he's wasting my time
He wants his money or we go to trial
He's got penis envy denial

Another weekend, I didn't get laid
It's a Monday morning ant brigade
Another weekend, I didn't get paid
It's a Monday morning ant brigade

Fuck it all, no regrets
I'm staying in and you can bet
It sucks outside in the pouring rain
I'll smoke some pot, fry my brain
Thom cut the record down to the bone
I'm a sure shot, rocking the microphone

Another weekend, I didn't get laid
It's a Monday morning ant brigade
I got the Monday mornings
I got the Monday mornings
I got the Monday mornings
I got the Monday mornings

Monday
Monday
Monday

Monday morning ant brigade


8.You're So Rad

Lyricist:Greggory A. Attonito, Shalendar S. Khichi, Bryan T. Kienlen,
Peter William Steinkopf

You're so rad, you're so rad
You're so rad, you're so rad
You're so rad, you're so rad
You're so rad, you're so rad
You're so rad, you're so rad

You're so rad more than my dad
If you were a fabric, you'd be plaid
Everybody knows plaid is so rad
I think about you and I go mad
I think about you and I go m-m-mad

So rad, you're so rad
So rad, you're so rad
So rad, you're so rad
So rad, you're so rad

You're so rad you really spark my Nads
Some say you're good but I know you're bad
If you go I'll be sad stop the presses, run an ad
If there be a you, you'd be a rad
T-t-triad

You're so rad, you're so rad
You're so rad

You're so rad, you're so rad
You're so rad, you're so rad
You're so rad


9.Night On Earth

Lyricist:Greggory A. Attonito, Shalendar S. Khichi, Bryan T. Kienlen,
Peter William Steinkopf

Passed some time on the stoop
On the block were we used to sit
I thought about it all too much
I thought so hard I couldn't see
Pete rode by on his Hutch

Passed some time on the stoop
On the block were we used to sit
I looked down and tied my shoes
I thought about it all too much
I looked up and then I knew

I guess these things
Were meant to be
And there's no use fighting
What's in me

Night on earth
Night on earth

Passed some time walking around
Looking for something to be
When I stopped to look around
All the music was different to me

All these places we used to go
When I loved you I didn't see
I'll miss you but now I'll know
Better next time because I found me

I guess these things
Were meant to be
And there's no use fighting
What's in me

Night on earth
Night on earth


10.The Whole Thing

Lyricist:Greggory A. Attonito, Shalendar S. Khichi, Bryan T. Kienlen,
Peter William Steinkopf

Music sounds in my ear
There are bricks for my view
I hear the train pass
Now, I'm sure that I miss you

But I'll keep my head and I'll try
And I know this will pass by and by
By and by

I made some coffee and I overheard the neighbors too
Sometimes they laugh, sometimes they scream
It all reminds me of you

But I don't worry anyway
After all you are so far away
So far away, so far away

Sometimes, sadness feels happy
Sometimes, sadness keeps my head
Sometimes, it helps me to get by
Maybe I don't make much sense

But I know I'm gonna try
But I know this will pass by and by
By and by, ho, woah, oh, oh

Now, I know I'm gonna try
And I know this will pass by and by
By and by, ho, oh, woah, oh, oh, oh


11.'It's Not the Heat, It's the Humanity'

Lyricist:Greggory A. Attonito, Shalendar S. Khichi, Bryan T. Kienlen,
Peter William Steinkopf

It's hot, it's a four-alarm fricassee boy
This heat is killing me
It's hot, it's hot tonight
It's dwelling dicks in a deep-fry

It's hot standing next to these other guys
It's hot, it's sweaty snapper in a stir-fry
A blazing sun under a red sky
It's hot, it's hot

It's sexy and it's wet and the show ain't even over yet
How much better can get tonight
It's so hot, I can't even think
I need some air I need a drink

Sweaty bodies everywhere down to their underwear tonight
My balls are sticking to my leg pass the 40, sippin' dregs
Raise the roof let's set it off
'Cuz we just can get enough tonight


12.Undeniable

Lyricist:Greggory A. Attonito, Shalendar S. Khichi, Bryan T. Kienlen,
Peter William Steinkopf

The one minute I saw you
I remember your red shoes
I keep this little memory of you
I see you in my mind when I need to

Thank you for your red shoes

Some say the world isn't fair
At least for one moment and I didn't care
It's all in how I see it and what I choose
Nothing seems black when I see your red shoes

Thank you for your red shoes

That minute, that I saw you
I remember you and your red shoes
Now I have his memory of you
I see you in my mind when I need to

Thank you for your red shoes

Your red shoes


13.Hopeless Romantic

Lyricist:Greggory A. Attonito, Shalendar S. Khichi, Bryan T. Kienlen,
Peter William Steinkopf

I don't know what other people see
Or what they think is love
But I know know what it means to me
I fall in love so easily

And it's hard to let your guard down
Something you never wanted to
But I gave you my love and if you turned away
I guess I'd be screwed, but

I'm a hopeless romantic
You're just hopeless

I'm a hopeless romantic
You're just hopeless

Beer and wine does me fine but
It doesn't always do
When I get back up and dust off
I always come back to you

I'm my own man with my own plan
I can't do the things you want me to
I'm kinda lazy and I kinda stink
But I'll clean myself up for you

I'm a hopeless romantic
You're just hopeless

I'm a hopeless romantic
You're just hopeless

You're just hopeless
You're just hopeless
