@amelea:
All I wanted to do was relax and read a romcom book. But no, @thenucleus said I needed to come make a song. So, I wrote one about what I'd rather be doing.

Then, funny enough, a few days later, when I was reading a *different* romcom book (called The Do-Over) he told me he needed me to redo the vocals on it........... so this is my Do-Over!

Lyrics

Boy you’re from a rom-com
I’ve been watching so long
Sit back in the futon
He comes out when he wants

Boy you’re from a rom-com
I’ve been watching so long
Sit back in the futon
Hope it’s 3D you want

Distorted color
My mind’s missing
My heartbeats faster
My gut just grins

Boy you're from a romcom
You've been written all on
Boombox held up arm strong
Kiss me high if you want

Distorted color
My mind’s missing
My heartbeats faster
My gut just grins
You’re coming closer
I sit back and
Distorted color
The pages flip

Boy you’re from a rom-com
I’ve been watching so long
Sit back in the futon
He comes out when he wants

Boy you're from a rom-com
You’ve been written all on
Highlight every word on
Lipstick in the margins

Big enough an ear
To hear and hear and hear
You're hot to the touch
Microwaved enough
Your eyes peeking in
To see and see and see
Your touch collides
To heat and heat and heat

Boy you're from a rom-com
You’ve been written all on
Highlight every word on
Lipstick in the margins

Boy you’re from a rom-com
I’ve been watching so long
Sit back in the futon
He comes out when he wants

Boy you’re from a rom-com
I’ve been watching so long
Sit back in the futon
Hope it’s 3D you want

Hope it’s 3D you want
Hope it’s 3D you want
Hope it’s 3D you want
Boy I’m 3D
And you’re on TV
You wanna come here please?
Just take a step out
No one will know but
You’re missing from the script
When they call the lights
The action
The action’s backstage with me

Boy you’re from a rom-com
I’ve been watching so long
Sit back in the futon
He comes out when he wants

Boy you’re from a rom-com
I’ve been watching so long
Sit back in the futon
Hope it’s 3D you want

Hope it’s 3D you want
Hope it’s 3D you want
Hope it’s 3D you want
Boy I’m 3D
And you’re on TV

Boy you’re from a rom-com

The drum pattern is so restless it makes the whole song manic, which suits the song. This song has so much tension that towards the end it was hard to not start fidgeting. What a song!

It sound like the remake of The Purple Rose of Cairo by John Waters would ! Love the colors and the demented script !

I love Romcom books!!!! Now if you can tell me what the hell a romcom book is......
Anyhow, this is an awesome song. Great concept! It's got a 90s grunge flavor only It's a billion times better than grunge (no offense if you guys like grunge music haha).

Mr nucleus that drum pattern is downright diabolical. I love it! Got me movin and groovin. Great write from Amelie and the vocal performance kicks butt. Love the "Boy I'm 3D and you're on TV" line. Speaking of diabolical, that breakdown at 2:30 with the bass and whisper vocals is so sick!
