the american (Explicit) - Amy Allen

Composed by：Amy Allen/Eg White/Jonny Coffer

Produced by：Eg White/Jonny Coffer

Spent the summer on my front doorstep

My street was named after a president

You'd hold me and roll your eyes

At my accent

One time you loved me in a parking lot

Got interrupted by a violent cop

You said this country's a lie

You think you're free but you're not

You used to read me like a line

Now I'm

Just the American

You brought around

That every now and then you talk about

It's breaking my heart that's all I am to you nowadays

Just a phase

The American

I'd give all my money just to hear your voice

My sister said you were a shitty choice

You could be

Just up the street or as far as an asteroid

And every day that passes by

Oh I'm

A little smaller in your mind

That's right

A flower reaching for the light

That died

Just the American

You brought around

That every now and then you laugh about

It's breaking my heart that's all I am to you nowadays

Just a phase

The American

Mmm the American

The American

Mmm the American

The American

Mmm the American yeah

Mmm mmm-mmm mmm
