American Dream
A little something in the air
I thought I didn't have a prayer
But your friend said, "have faith"
Rehearsing what I might say
You turn your head, I look away
And I'm cursing my name
There's a voice that's saying, "take your seat"
This town is small and yet you are always out of reach
But suddenly
Every flash of light is
Shining on your face
I'm lost for words and
I'm feeling my heart race
And I've wanted this so bad
How long I won't say
In this American Dream
Tell me that you'll stay
You say the city's gonna talk
And that you dream of running off
And you'll never look back
But would it be so bad
If we changed our plans
Are we living in the past
There's a voice that's saying, "step right up"
It's all we've known but maybe that could be enough
But suddenly
Every flash of light is
Shining on your face
I'm lost for words and
I'm feeling my heart race
I've wanted this so bad
How long I won't say
In this American Dream
Tell me that you'll stay
In my heart
By my side
But if I can't change your mind
Give me your word that you'll remember this night
Looking up
At the sky
With all our friends standing by
Frozen in the spotlight
Frozen in the spotlight, yeah
There's a voice that's saying, "step right up"
Suddenly
Every flash of light is
Shining on your face
I'm lost for words and
I'm feeling my heart race
And I've wanted this so bad
How long I won't say
In this American Dream
Tell me that you'll stay (ohh)
Tell me that you'll stay
Tell me that you'll stay
Tell me that you'll stay
I thought I didn't have a prayer
But your friend said, "have faith"
Rehearsing what I might say
You turn your head, I look away
And I'm cursing my name
There's a voice that's saying, "take your seat"
This town is small and yet you are always out of reach
But suddenly
Every flash of light is
Shining on your face
I'm lost for words and
I'm feeling my heart race
And I've wanted this so bad
How long I won't say
In this American Dream
Tell me that you'll stay
You say the city's gonna talk
And that you dream of running off
And you'll never look back
But would it be so bad
If we changed our plans
Are we living in the past
There's a voice that's saying, "step right up"
It's all we've known but maybe that could be enough
But suddenly
Every flash of light is
Shining on your face
I'm lost for words and
I'm feeling my heart race
I've wanted this so bad
How long I won't say
In this American Dream
Tell me that you'll stay
In my heart
By my side
But if I can't change your mind
Give me your word that you'll remember this night
Looking up

With all our friends standing by
Frozen in the spotlight
Frozen in the spotlight, yeah
There's a voice that's saying, "step right up"
Suddenly
Every flash of light is
Shining on your face
I'm lost for words and
I'm feeling my heart race
And I've wanted this so bad
How long I won't say
In this American Dream
Tell me that you'll stay (ohh)
Tell me that you'll stay
Tell me that you'll stay
Tell me that you'll stay
