America

Real life is make believe
All that glitters isn’t gold for me
Save me from everyone

Bite your tongue
Don’t say anything
You look perfect in this light to me
Save me from everything

They say we can stay in America
You can be free in America
But I’m sick of listening to everyone
I just want you
I just want you
I just want you

Close your eyes
Take it slow
We will find a new place to go
This will all be over soon

And if the stripes keep us apart
I will write your name up in the stars
Keep myself close to you

They say we can stay in America
You can be free in America
But I’m sick of listening to everyone
I just want you
I just want you
I just want you

Heavy hearted and I feel so cold
The nights are longer than I’ve ever known
Wherever you are
Come and get me now

When we started it was long ago
It was perfect and well
Yeah it was perfect
Wherever you are
Come and get me now

They say we can stay in America
You can be free in America
But I’m sick of listening to everyone
I just want you
I just want you
I just want you
