This American Dream Lyrics

You rattle around these walls

And always leave the door wide open

No one comes around

But you don't want to give up hoping

You used to be so bold

The queen of every boyhood dream

When you start to feel the cold

There's always someone willing to share the heat

You meet another face

And take the path of least resistance

Searching for some soul

Find another room left vacant

You’re working to the bone

Give a whole more than taking

Got a place to call my own

I can’t remember why I’m staying

You know I never believed

That this American dream

Was ever meant to be

Something handed to me

But now I’m all out of hope

And if we’re all out of hope

We’ll hold on

Its by design

That doesn't mean I

Think its right

'Cause every phase of this race I’ve crossed the finished line

And every smiling face I see says I’m doing right

So whys it taken so long for me to realize

That it goes round and round and round

And round and round and round

And round and round and round

And round and round and round

And I can wait right here

With you

You know I never believed

That this American Dream

Was ever meant to be

Something handed to me

But now I’m all out of hope

And if we’re all out of hope

You know I never believed

That this American Dream

Was ever meant to be

Something handed to me

But now I’m all out of hope

And if we’re all out of hope

There's got to be something wrong

With more than just me
