America

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Real life is make-believe All that glitters isn't gold to me Save me from everyone Oh, oh, oh oh Bite your tongue, don't say anything You look perfect in this light to me Save me from everything Oh, oh, oh oh [Chorus] They say we can't stay in America You can't be free in America But I'm sick of listening to everyone I just want you, oh I just want you, oh I just want you, oh [Verse 2] Close your eyes, take it slow We will find a new place to go This will all be over soon Oh, oh, oh oh And if the stripes keep us apart I will write your name up in the stars Keep myself close to you Oh, oh, oh oh [Chorus] They say we can't stay in America You can't be free in America But I'm sick of listening to everyone I just want you, oh I just want you, oh I just want you, oh [Bridge] Heavy-hearted and I feel so cold The nights are longer than I've ever known Wherever you are, come and get me now (Come and get me now) When we started, it was long ago It was perfect and well, yeah it was perfect Wherever you are, come and get me now (Come and get me now) (Come and get me now) [Chorus] They say we can't stay in America You can't be free in America But I'm sick of listening to everyone I just want you, oh They say we can't stay in America You can't be free in America But I'm sick of listening to everyone I just want you, oh I just want you, oh I just want you, oh
