the american
Spent the summer on my front doorstep
My street was named after a president
You'd hold me and roll your eyes
At my accent
One time you loved me in a parking lot
Got interrupted by a violent cop
You said "This country's a lie
You think you're free, but you're not"
You used to read me like a line
Now I'm
Just the American
You brought around
That every now and then you talk about
It's breaking my heart
That's all I am to you nowadays
Just a phase
The American
I'd give all my money just to hear your voice
My sisters said you were a shitty choice
You could be
Just up the street or as far as an asteroid
And every day that passes by
Oh I'm
A little smaller in your mind
That's right
A flower reaching for the light
That died
Just the American
You brought around
That every now and then you laugh about
It's breaking my heart that's all I am to you nowadays
Just a phase
The American
My street was named after a president
You'd hold me and roll your eyes
At my accent
One time you loved me in a parking lot
Got interrupted by a violent cop
You said "This country's a lie
You think you're free, but you're not"
You used to read me like a line
Now I'm
Just the American
You brought around
That every now and then you talk about
It's breaking my heart
That's all I am to you nowadays
Just a phase
The American
I'd give all my money just to hear your voice
My sisters said you were a shitty choice
You could be
Just up the street or as far as an asteroid
And every day that passes by
Oh I'm
A little smaller in your mind
That's right
A flower reaching for the light
That died
Just the American
You brought around
That every now and then you laugh about
It's breaking my heart that's all I am to you nowadays
Just a phase
The American
