|
I wanna be the American dream |
|
But I need you right next to me |
|
If I'm ever gonna feel free |
|
Will you stay awake all night with me? |
|
We can fall asleep tomorrow |
|
Will you hang on to every word I speak |
|
From now on? |
|
Because I wanna be the American dream |
|
But I need you right next to me |
|
If I'm ever gonna feel free |
|
You know when you're good |
|
And you know when you're not |
|
And right now baby |
|
I am near the top |
|
You won't be seeing much of me |
|
This coming year |
|
But I'll check back up on you |
|
If you wait here |
|
But every time you leave me |
|
I swear to god it gets much worse |
|
When I lean in you'll say goodbye |
|
I bet I'll choke on my damn words |
|
As if they're ever really worth singing |
|
I wanna be the American dream |
|
But I need you right next to me |
|
If I'm ever gonna feel free |
|
I wanna be the American dream (woah oh oh) |
|
But I need you right next to me (woah oh oh) |
|
If I'm ever gonna feel free (woah oh oh) |
|
Oh, I'm never gonna be free |
