American Movie

She's out every night looking in the wrong direction

She doesn't notice the

one who's by her side

He's thinking now that maybe we

Could be in love like

those in an American Movie

Come close to me

Love's as clear as the air we

breathe

I can see

We'll last as long as the night can be

Now it's getting

late and he's lost perception

But it's clear as day who's by his side

She's

thinking now we could not be

As in love as those in an American Movie

If

nothing lasts forever

At least we'll have tonight

Take me back to the way

i want it

Take me back to the way we used to be

I'm too young to be empty

hearted

Old enough to have one taken from me
