Perfect American Girl

(Album: Generation Of Me - 2022)

You were the Perfect American Girl
And I was a self loathing asshole
You prayed to Jesus, so I gave it a whirl
Disguised in the Valley of Shadows

And I'm getting bored of it
And you still think there's more than this

But just for a minute
I swear I was changing my mind
I turned on the TV and I started to cry
I was buried alive
When I came up for air
You were passing me by
I'll never survive it, though I'm trying
Our love lays there dying
I'm trying to revive it

I don't know if I'll ever be ready
Waiting for the moment to take me
The one-night stand, the only thing steady
Soon enough gonna break me

But I'm getting bored of it
There must be something more than this

But just for a minute
I swear that I felt so alive
I turned on the TV and I started to cry
We were out in the tide
When I came up for air
You were passing me by
We'll never survive it
Though I'm trying
Our love lays there dying I'm trying to revive it

And I know that it's too late
To be chasing down the feeling
I had with you

And I know that it's no fate
To be chasing down the feeling
I had with you
