American Dream Lyrics

Come in closer

Let me buy you another

Tentatively we

reach for each other

Said you wished I'd

kissed you goodbye last summer

Why'd it take so

long for you to utter?

Hands in pockets

We sat by the water

Scared to dive in

Said you don't wanna go under

I wanna kiss, kiss a little and I wanna give in

I wanna get myself stuck under your skin

Oh, I wanna give in

I wanna be your one man panic machine

I wanna build the next American dream

Oh, don't you wanna be free?

You never wanted me

just a guarantee of a lover

Waiting around for you

while you're off searching for another

Take what you want from me

Take my dignity, take my body

Don't you take for granted the love that I handed

That you couldn't copy

I wanna kiss, kiss a little and I wanna give in

I wanna get myself stuck under your skin

Oh, I wanna give in

I wanna be your one man panic machine

I wanna build the next American dream

Oh, you just wanna be free

So I'm knocking at the door and you're pulling me in

And with your hands in my hair it didn't feel like a sin

So I wrote you a letter, yes I opened up

And you let your walls go up, up, up

So I hailed a taxi and I took it downtown

And I called my mom and I told her it's going south

Now I'm waiting for a message that you'll never send

And maybe it's better that we're just friends.
