OST: SHECAMETOME | 2023 single

Note: Bruce Springsteen and The National's Bryce Dessner collaborated to create "Addicted To Romance" for the Rebecca Miller film She Came To Me. Miller loves Bruce's music, and wanted an original song for the end of the film: "I had a secret wish it might be Bruce, but I was reluctant to ask because I felt it was so unlikely, and frankly I was a bit shy." Dessner, who worked on the film’s score, encouraged Miller to approach Springsteen. Springsteen, inspired by the film, wrote and performed "Addicted To Romance" and Dessner orchestrated the song.

Lyrics

Addicted To Romance

It's whiskey and it's water and it's one last dance
Stranger, pump that jukebox with your quarters, we all deserve a second chance
Darling, let me tell you your future, slip your palm into my hands
You got me addicted to romance

Neon lights on the corner, the rumble of a tired rock and roll band
you're this neighborhood's broken daughter, with all the blessings that it grants
I'll tell you about this dream I had if you tell me of your plans
You got me addicted to romance

Now the night is sweet and low, my dear, though the end's always at hand
My muse, the music you whispered in my ear reminds me of who I am
Reminds me of who I am
Reminds me of who I am

Love's a cold beer, you near, and a kiss, your sweet and tender hands
Tonight I get all the love that I've missed, from you in just one glance
And if this isn't love, my dear, it's more than what we planned, it's more than just chance
You've got me addicted to romance
You've got me addicted to romance
You've got me addicted to romance

[Spoken]
???, baby.
Now that's right.
Let's come a little closer.
