She comes out on Fridays every time
Stands out in a line

I could’ve been anyone she’d seen

She waits another week to fall apart
She couldn’t make another day

I wish it was anyone but me
It could’ve been anyone you see
She had something breakable just under her skin

American girls, all weather & noise

Playing the changes for all the of the boys

Holding a candle up to my hand

Making me feel so incredible

She comes out of closets every night

But then she locks herself away

Where she could keep everything from me

I could’ ve been anyone you see

She’s nothing but porcelain underneath her skin

American girls, all weather & noise

Playing the changes for all the of the boys
Holding a candle right up to my hand

Making me feel so incredible

Little shivers shaking me every day
But I could get the same thing anywhere
So if she goes away
Well, it’s alright and I’m ok

“hey”, she said, “come back again tonight”
I said, “I might, I might, I might”
She said, “well that’s alright”
If it’s alright with you

then it’s alright with me

I wait for an hour last Friday night

She never came around

She took almost everything from me

I’m going through my closets
Trying on her clothes almost everyday

I could’ve been anyone you see

I wish it was anyone but me

There’s nothing but pills and ashes under my skin

American girls, all weather & noise

Playing the changes for all the of the boys

Holding a candle right up to my hand

Making me feel so incredible

If I made you cry, please tell me why
Cause I’ ll try again if you let me try

American girls, all feathers & cream

Come into bed so edible.
American girls ……

You make me cry ……
