American Town

We’re a long way from home Haven’t seen you in so long But it all came back in one moment And the year started cold But I didn’t notice at all When we found there’s a room we’re both in We get Chinese food in small white boxes Live the life we saw in Friends Your room it barely fits the mattress Wake up leave for work again The wind it seems to blow right through us Down jackets are the trend The rush of rushing deep into love English girl in an American town No elevator to the 5th floor I’ll Ring on the buzzer, then you’ll be right down I wish time would freeze Dungarees over the hoodie we’re out Feet are 3 feet off the ground Lost in love and we don’t wanna be found It’s just you and me My English girl in an American town The days come and go But it ends when doors close And a scent of your perfume’s on me You’re useless with your phone Electric when one on one I thought I would be more nervous darling We watch comedies and miss the endings Conversations til the dawn Any change in tide we push against it Challenge meanings in the song Then head out without a reservation Drinking out of paper bags Wasting time is time not wasted, with my English girl in an American town No elevator to the 5th floor I’ll Ring on the buzzer, then you’ll be right down I wish time would freeze Dungarees over the hoodie we’re out Feet are 3 feet off the ground Lost in love and we don’t wanna be found It’s just you and me My English girl in an American town And when our eyes are closed together, I can’t explain How the scent of your perfume takes me to a higher place We can watch it unfold, or we can change how it tastes And rebuild when it breaks down We drink Moscow mules and steal the cups from Mostly the Bowery bar What a perfect day to fall in love on What a way to make it start It appears when you think all is lost then You don’t remember when It started never have to pretend, with my English girl in an American town No elevator to the 5th floor I’ll Ring on the buzzer, then you’ll be right down I wish time would freeze Dungarees over the hoodie we’re out Feet are 3 feet off the ground Lost in love and we don’t wanna be found It’s just you and me English girl in an American town No elevator to the 5th floor I’ll Ring on the buzzer, then you’ll be right down I wish time would freeze Dungarees over the hoodie we’re out Feet are 3 feet off the ground Lost in love and we don’t wanna be found It’s just you and me English girl in an American town
