American Cliche

Sleep, good morning
And I’m, too white to hear the warnin’
And there’s danger in, we’re so lost
The calm before the thunder

I’m an American cliche
Missin’ a girl in a French cafe
I say, “God damn, you’re beautiful”
You’re blushin’, now get out of frame
I’m an American cliche
Missin’ a girl in a French cafe
I say, “I don’t get alone, so alone without you”
And you say, “Same”

Soaked and I can’t shake it off when you’re
Soaked under your skin and your daddy talks funny
But he smiles just like you
And that’s enough to make me smile too
Tone it down, he doesn’t like it like that
I’m uncertain if I am ever coming back
So let’s make the most of this
And give me somethin’ I could miss

I’m an American cliche
Missin’ a girl in a French cafe
I say, “God damn, you’re beautiful”
You’re blushin’, now get out of frame
I’m an American cliche
Missin’ a girl in a French cafe
I say, “I don’t get alone, so alone without you”
And you say, “Same”

Nothin’ much matters in the meantime
Go right in-between time
Go with me and leave alone
Everybody wants to find a reason
Not to be happy
But I’ve got you
So I’ve got nothing in the best way

I’m an American cliche
Missin’ a girl in a French cafe
I say, “God damn, you’re beautiful”
You’re blushin’, now get out of frame
I’m an American cliche
Missin’ a girl in a French cafe
I say, “I don’t get alone, so alone without you”
And you say, “Same”
