American Movie

She's out every night looking in the wrong direction
She doesn't notice the
one who's by her side
He's thinking now that maybe we
Could be in love like
those in an American Movie

Come close to me
Love's as clear as the air we
breathe
I can see
We'll last as long as the night can be

Now it's getting
late and he's lost perception
But it's clear as day who's by his side
She's
thinking now we could not be
As in love as those in an American Movie

If
nothing lasts forever
At least we'll have tonight

Take me back to the way
i want it
Take me back to the way we used to be
I'm too young to be empty
hearted
Old enough to have one taken from me
