American Love

You took me home on an Ontario night Out past the glimmer of your bicycle light We drank red, red whiskey from a coffee cup Those blue and white eyes shined like movies Oh, right here Through the night The stripe of your shirt The stars in your eyes I think I'm falling I think I'm falling In American love I think i'm falling I think I'm falling In American love The northern lights were like fireworks up above us And the morning gave proof that you'd still be there To hold my hand as the bombs burst all around us I think i'm falling I think i'm falling In American love Hollywood warned me you'd be comin' around And Hollywood pumped me full of pictures and sounds But when the blue, blue ocean rises up too high You and me, we got that northern shelter Oh, right Here Through the night The stripe of your shirt The stars in your eyes I think I'm falling I think I'm falling In American love I ain't looking for a god damn institution Come on darlin, just prove that you'll still be there Oh, I know we got some cracks in the constitution But we can start the world over We can start the world over Let's start the world over again Some buildings rise, and some buildings will fall Ain't no one in this world who can look after them all But in our bright white house we play the man in black Singing songs he knew would live forever Oh, right here Through the night The stripe of your shirt The stars in your eyes I think I'm falling I think I'm falling In American love Oh, right here At the end of the night Like an old movie It's gonna turn out alright I think I'm falling I think I'm falling In American love
