Bargain Bin Romance

[Intro]
[Verse]
Fluorescent buzz above the shelf
I’m just shopping for myself
Grabbed the seeds, the dollar kind
Never thought what I would find
Scrap of paper, folded neat
Tucked away, a hidden treat
[Pre-Chorus]
Someone’s heart on a grocery receipt
Making the bitter taste so sweet
I’m reading lines between the aisles
Trading my sighs for secret smiles
[Chorus]
Oh, it’s a bargain bin romance
Give a lonely heart a chance
It doesn’t need a diamond ring
To be the most precious thing
Written in blue, faded and true
I’m looking for a love like you
[Post-Chorus]
Just a dollar, just a dream
Life ain't always what it seems
In the aisles of the everyday
Love will always find a way
[Verse]
“Meet me by the rusty gate”
“Sorry that I’m running late”
Small town ink on a yellowed page
A love that hasn’t felt its age
He called her “Sugar,” she called him “Home”
Two souls who never had to roam
[Pre-Chorus]
Someone’s heart on a grocery receipt
Making the bitter taste so sweet
I’m reading lines between the aisles
Trading my sighs for secret smiles
[Chorus]
Oh, it’s a bargain bin romance
Give a lonely heart a chance
It doesn’t need a diamond ring
To be the most precious thing
Written in blue, faded and true
I’m looking for a love like you
[Bridge]
Pink flamingos for the yard
A glittery anniversary card
Generic soda, plastic lace
I see the beauty in this place
Glass vases for a buck-fifty
Love is cheap but oh so nifty
[Verse]
I put the note back in the bag
Next to the clearance price tag
Walking out to my beat-up car
Wondering where those lovers are
Maybe they’re still holding hands
Following their discount plans
[Chorus]
Oh, it’s a bargain bin romance
Give a lonely heart a chance
It doesn’t need a diamond ring
To be the most precious thing
Written in blue, faded and true
I’m looking for a love like you
[Post-Chorus]
Just a dollar, just a dream
Life ain't always what it seems
In the aisles of the everyday
Love will always find a way
[Outro]
