Lyrics

All this time I was thinking about Technicolor Super 8
Like those old films, blue waves, the white text over it
Like those crystal waters submerged, I'm happy under it
Oh just me, in the sea with blue light for company
And all this time I was trying to be James Dean, pristine
Suntan, underwater, living an American dream
California, bleached blonde, pink skies across the pond
Suntan, underwater, living an American dream
I could be a beacon of help, I could live without this wealth
And live my life in black and white, just like an American dream
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
He's an American dream
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
He's an American dream
All this time I was thinking about Brando, Cousteau
Twentieth century slicked back, black and white heroes
And he wants to be a pilot, and he wants to be a diver
And he wants to be, he wants to be something higher
And all this time I was trying to be James Dean, pristine
Suntan, underwater, living an American dream
California, bleached blonde, pink skies across the pond
Suntan, underwater, living an American dream
I could be a beacon of help, I could live without this wealth
And live my life in black and white, just like an American dream
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
He's an American dream
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
He's an American dream
In the rain and I'm going nowhere
In the sun I'm already there
I'll be the boy with the golden hair
I know it's all in America
Oh in the rain and I'm going nowhere
In the sun I'm already there
I'll be the boy with the golden hair
I know it's all in America
And all this time I was trying to be James Dean, pristine
Suntan, underwater, living an American dream
California, bleached blonde, pink skies across the pond
Suntan, underwater, living an American dream
I could be a beacon of help, I could live without this wealth
And live my life in black and white, just like an American dream
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
He's an American dream
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
He's an American dream
