America

Real life is make believe

All that glitters isn't gold to me

Save me from everyone

Oh

Bite your tongue

Don't say anything

You look perfect in this light to me

Save me from everything

Oh

They say we can't stay in America

You can be free in America

But I'm sick of listening to everyone

I just want you, oh

I just want you, oh

I just want you, oh

Close your eyes, take it slow

We will find a new place to go

This will all be over soon

Oh

And if the stripes keep us apart

I will write your name up in the stars

Keep myself close to you

Oh

They say we can't stay in America

You can be free in America

But I'm sick of listening to everyone

I just want you, oh

I just want you, oh

I just want you, oh

Heavy hearted and I feel so cold

The nights are longer than I've ever known

Wherever you are

Come and get me now

When we started it was long ago

It was perfect and well, yeah it was perfect

Wherever you are

Come and get me now

They say we can't stay in America

You can be free in America

But I'm sick of listening to everyone

I just want you, oh

They say we can't stay in America

You can be free in America

But I'm sick of listening to everyone

I just want you, oh

I just want you, oh

I just want you, oh
