Virtual Romance is a melancholic, ironic take on feeling isolated in the digital age.
But has a bouncy kind of up beat retro vibe to the composition.

Verse
You’re so sweet and warm and neat, (my sweet heart beats)
And I never knew what love could do till I saw you oh yeah, (no clue, so blue)
My head turned when you walked by
I made a point to keep my eye on you (that’s true)
I pictured you in my arms, I longed to give in to your charms,
The stage was set, the curtains raised but my tongue froze when we came face to face
Chorus
We’re not ready to dance
Sitting down on a virtual romance
Not a ghost of a chance
Of something more than a virtual romance
Bridge
Cold nights lost at the screen
Chasing my electric dream
I watch but I’m never seen
Verse
Nowhere to hide when worlds collide (no pride, inside)
But our faint hearts have kept us far
From spinning close under our own star (so far, bright star)
Such time has passed, the game’s moved on
But we’ve stood still for far too long, too long (so long),
No holding you in my arms
No sweet surrender to your charms,
No valentine, no pink champagne,
I’m not so sure you even know my name
Chorus
We’re not ready to dance,
Sitting down on a virtual romance
Not a ghost of a chance
Of something more than a virtual romance,
No hope or a chance
To realise this virtual romance
We’re not ready to dance, I’m not ready, you’re not ready
Long nights at the screen
Chasing you my electric dreamer
We’re not ready to dance
I’m not ready, you’re not ready,
