something american

we knew each other when we were very young

high school sweethearts

or something american

now we've become older i only see photos

she's what i thought

something american

something american

but you don't call me now

and i don't think too much about you

but when she's not around

i can feel you're lonely

oh

i can feel you're lonely somehow

i'm not nice like her

won't wear white like her

don't live life with the pages mapped out

no

i'm not perfect

but then no one is

we're all reaching for something american

but you don't call me now

and i don't think too much about you

but when she's not around

i can feel you're lonely

i can feel you all night

in my dreams i find

the stars align and they all collide

and it's you and i

oh

back in time

it feels so right

but you don't call me now

and i don't think too much about you

but when she's not around

i can feel you're lonely

oh

you don't call me now

and i don't think too much about you

but when she's not around

i can feel you're lonely

oh

i can feel you're lonely somehow

we knew each other when we were very young

high school sweethearts

or something american
