American Dream

(album: The Yearbook - 2021)

My wildest dreams always come true
So I'm dreaming wildly about you
And I'm nothing if not persistent
So I'll think us into existence
Oh the things I could do
In a hotel room all alone with you
That I can't say out loud
But I think of them looking at your mouth

Like an American dream, you're only in my head
And totally out of reach, but I can still pretend
That one day it'll be me to get you in the end
Like an American dream

Be my American, my American dream
My American, be my American dream
My American, My American dream
My American

I know that I'm only human
But I manifest my delusion
And I've seen stranger things happen
To those who dare to imagine
Oh the things you could be
In a hotel suite all alone with me
That you won't have to hide
In a dirty dream on a lonely night

Like an American dream, you're only in my head
And totally out of reach, but I can still pretend
That one day it'll be me to get you in the end
Like an American dream

Be my American, my American dream
My American, be my American dream
My American, My American dream
My American

The things that I would do to you
Would break your little world in two
But you go home to someone else
So I'll just do them to myself
The things that I would do to you
Would shock you if you only knew
But you're not near enough to tell
So I'll just do them to myself

Like an American dream, you're only in my head
And totally out of reach, but I can still pretend
That one day it'll be me to get you in the end
Like an American dream

Be my American, my American dream
My American, be my American dream
My American, My American dream
My American
