American Shoes (Audiotree Live)

I said I'll come back, I'll come back for you my love
Wait for me
You say 'you're the only'
You've been the only one I love, and love believes
But love is a bird you kept in your coat
Warm until it died in the dark
And death is the lover which hurts you the most
So you drink your day away 'til you're warm as paradise

I'm not hurt, I'm broken, but I called to say I'm fine
And I heard you had another love
But I'd love you to think I don't mind
And the baby in your arms ain't mine
But I make believe as though it was
I didn't mean to call this late
But I think I'm in love with the thought of us

(With the thought)
(With the thought of us)

So you drink your day away 'til the liquor in your mouth laughs
And mirrors paint you beautiful, like older photographs
But we grow, we grow old, even this won't last
No one understands, no one cares at all
And they're tearin' down our sacred places in the hall
You know I hate to dance, still you ask, still you ask for my hand

But I love you like the kids love throwin' bottles of the bridge
And breakin' in to trade your fix for American shoes
For American shoes, I've been dyin' to lie awake in a room for two but
I'll come back, I'll come back for you my love

But love is a bird you kept in your coat
Warm until it died in the dark
And death is the lover which hurts you the most
So you drink your day away 'til you're warm as paradise

I'm not hurt, I'm broken, but I called to say I'm fine
And I heard you had another love
But I'd love you to think I don't mind
And the baby in your arms ain't mine
But I make believe as though it was
I didn't mean to call this late
But I think I'm in love with the thought of us!

(With the thought)
(With the thought of us)
(Oh)
(With the thought)
(With the thought of us)

I love you like the kids love throwin' bottles of the bridge
And breakin' in to trade your fix for American shoes
For American shoes, I've been dyin' to lie awake in a room for two but
I'll come back, I'll come back for you my love
(Wait)
