Something American
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We knew each other when we were very young
High school sweethearts, or something American
Now we've become older I only see photos
She's what I thought, something American
Something American
But you don't call me now
And I don't think too much about you
But when she's not around
I can feel you're lonely
Oh, I can feel you're lonely somehow
I'm not nice like her
Won't wear white like her
Don't live life with the pages mapped out
No, I'm not perfect
But then no one is
We're all reaching for something American
But you don't call me now
And I don't think too much about you
But when she's not around
I can feel you're lonely
I can feel you all night
In my dreams I find
The stars align and they all collide
And it's you and I
Oh, back in time, it feels so right
But you don't call me now
And I don't think too much about you
But when she's not around
I can feel you're lonely, oh
You don't call me now
And I don't think too much about you
But when she's not around
I can feel you're lonely, oh
I can feel you're lonely somehow
We knew each other when we were very young
High school sweethearts, or something American
