Lyrics

American Express

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.

Your backpack in the corner of the room

You're gone but you'll be more gone soon

You linger like the scent of some perfume

Or an angel who has stained my sheets

I won't be washing [them] for at least a week

Then the smell of you and half asleep

I'm watching you get dressed

I'm watching you get dressed

I'm watching you get dressed

I'm watching you get dressed

We could go out, make out at some bar

Or throw a party instead

Or we could stay right where we are

And have McDonald's in bed

The way your face changed in front of the mirror

I feel like I never know which of you is the real

I think to myself as I'm watching you get dressed

Watching you get dressed

Take a ride on the American Express

Watching you get dressed

The American dream - I say: Hell yeah!

Watching you get dressed

Watching you get dressed

You think I'll hang around and wait for your car?

Well I just might

I want to be be around to see you call

In the middle of the night

I'll be the one

Who's gonna be watching you undress

Watching you undress

Take a ride on the American Express

Watching you undress

The American dream - I say: Hell yeah!

Watching you undress

Watching you undress

Watching you undress

There's an action on TV

But I would rather be

Watching you undress

Watching you undress

Watching you undress
