American Town

[00:00.03] We're a long way from home
[00:02.18] Haven't seen you in so long
[00:04.55] But it all came back in one moment
[00:09.20] And the year started cold
[00:11.04] But I didn't notice at all
[00:13.69] When we found there's a room we're both in
[00:18.17] We get Chinese food in small white boxes
[00:21.18] Live the life we saw in Friends
[00:22.98] Your room, it barely fits the mattress
[00:25.60] Wake up, leave for work again
[00:27.43] The wind, it seems to blow right through us
[00:30.27] Down jackets are the trend
[00:31.96] The rush of rushing deep into love
[00:35.57] English girl in an American town
[00:37.91] No elevator to the fifth floor
[00:39.75] I'll ring on the buzzer, then you'll be right down
[00:42.42] I wish time would freeze
[00:44.67] Dungarees over the hoodie, we're out
[00:47.01] Feet are three feet off the ground
[00:49.45] Lost in love, and we don't wanna be found
[00:51.58] It's just you and me
[00:53.63] My English girl in an American town
[00:56.82]
[00:59.29] In an American town
[01:04.15] The days come and go
[01:06.36] But it ends when doors closed
[01:08.51] And a scent of your perfume's on me
[01:12.88] You're useless with your phone
[01:15.17] Electric when one on one
[01:17.49] I thought I would be more nervous, darling
[01:22.01] We watch comedies and miss the endings
[01:25.00] Conversations 'til the dawn
[01:26.92] Any change in tide, we push against it
[01:29.59] Challenge meanings in the song
[01:31.46] Then head out without a reservation
[01:34.32] Drinking out of paper bags
[01:36.13] And wasting time is time not wasted
[01:39.35] With my English girl in an American town
[01:42.00] No elevator to the fifth floor
[01:43.61] I'll ring on the buzzer, then you'll be right down
[01:46.54] I wish time would freeze
[01:48.60] Dungarees over the hoodie, we're out
[01:51.04] Feet are three feet off the ground
[01:53.42] Lost in love, and we don't wanna be found
[01:55.77] It's just you and me
[01:57.61] My English girl in an American town
[02:00.23] And when our eyes are closed together, I can't explain
[02:04.62] How the scent of your perfume takes me to a higher place
[02:09.23] We can watch it unfold, or we can change how it tastes
[02:13.61] And rebuild when it breaks down
[02:19.14] We drink Moscow mules and steal the cups
[02:21.79] From, mostly, the Bowery Bar
[02:24.11] What a perfect day to fall in love on
[02:26.88] What a way to make a start
[02:28.78] It appears when you think all is lost
[02:30.85] Then you don't remember when it started
[02:34.04] Never have to pretend
[02:36.50] With my English girl in an American town
[02:39.14] No elevator to the fifth floor
[02:40.91] I'll ring on the buzzer, then you'll be right down
[02:43.69] I wish time would freeze
[02:45.75] Dungarees over the hoodie, we're out
[02:48.12] Feet are three feet off the ground
[02:50.52] Lost in love, and we don't wanna be found
[02:52.64] It's just you and me
[02:54.98] English girl in an American town
[02:57.44] No elevator to the fifth floor
[02:59.28] I'll ring on the buzzer, then you'll be right down
[03:01.84] I wish time would freeze
[03:04.14] Dungarees over the hoodie, we're out
[03:06.49] Feet are three feet off the ground
[03:08.89] Lost in love, and we don't wanna be found
[03:10.95] It's just you and me
[03:13.14] My English girl in an American town
[03:15.82]
