American Spirits Lyrics

Been a while since I wrote about you, how you doing

Hope that job that I knew you'd hate is going well

And if you're wondering

I moved out of the city

I couldn't take the lights

And the trees are so pretty

Oh but some things

They take me back all over again

Mhmmm right back to November

The lust I remember

And the fields by your house

Seemed to go on forever

And God you were clever

But now ties are severed

Except for what we left behind

These memories in my mind

Of how your Tacoma smelled like American Spirits

Or how you drank tequila only on the rocks

Or how when I was overwhelmed you'd feel it

Or how you knew exactly what you were not

'Till you forgot

I've seen you laugh

I've seen you cry

I've seen you wake first morning light

But now I wonder

If I'll ever see you again

Such a conundrum

This life

How these moments dear, we leave behind

To these rhythms singing lessons loud and clear

Clear like your voice in my memory

Soft, smooth, and sexy

When you said, in the bar

That you'd never forget me

And sure shit was heavy

But you just weren't ready

To love me like you said you would

Guess I misunderstood

The way your Tacoma smelled like American Spirits

Or how you drank tequila only on the rocks

Or how when I was overwhelmed you'd feel it

Or how you knew exactly what you were not

'Till you forgot

Flashbacks, oh they come and then they go

Me, I was so young

And you so cold

Both of us on the run

Trying to find a home

Well I hope you're close

And that sometimes you still roll up American Spirits

And that you drink tequila dancing away the night

And I hope that when you're overwhelmed you heal it

And I hope that at the end of all your many fights

You find your light

Mhmm

Hope you find your light

'Cause you can't have mine

No, no, no

You can't have mine
