American English

Songs when they're true are all dedicated to you

In this invisible world I choose to live in

And if you believe that, then now I understand

Why words mean so much to you

'Cause they'll never be about you

Maybe you're young without youth

Or maybe you're old without knowing anything's true

I think you're young without youth

Then you contract the American Dream

You never look up once

You've contracted American Dreams

I require you to stop and look up

Sing a song about myself

Keep singin' a song about myself

Not some invisible world

Constantly searchin' to find something new

But what will you find when you think that nothing's true

Maybe it's that nothing is new

So you let me hear songs that were written all about you

The good songs weren't written for you

They'll never be about you

Then you contract the American Dream

You never look up once

You've contracted American Dreams

You never look up once, so don't look up

Sing a song about myself

Keep singin' a song about myself

Not some invisible world

Sing a song about myself

Keep singin' a song about myself

Not some invisible world

And I won't tell you what this means

'Cause you already know

And I won't tell you what this means

'Cause you already know

So sing a song about myself

Keep singin' a song about myself

Not some invisible world

And you came along and found the weak spot

(Sing a song about myself)

That you always wanted

(Keep singin' a song about myself)

Let yourself be everything

(Not some invisible world)

That you've always wanted

It doesn't have to be so decided

(Sing a song about myself)

But you've always wanted

(Keep singin' a song about myself)

No need for explanations

(Not some invisible world)

You've always wanted

And you'll find what you find

When you find there's nothing

And you'll find what you find

When you find there's nothing
