American Living

[Verse 1]
Let's sober up, it's time to find that galaxy
That was created and named after me
But these rocket hits blew apart the entire ship
So if you find some pieces, just name them after me

It's on fire, it's my empire
Went up so fast, I couldn't grab it
Along with medicine and magic
That keeps me breathing right on key
Broken straps strap in the captain
That's praying just for me

[Pre-Chorus]
And this is so typical
Erased by the author of me

[Chorus]
So dance to some broken chords
With broken knees, through open doors
And save me with a microphone
Give me something so I can go home
(Give me something so I can go home)
Don't you have a lesson for me?

[Verse 2]
I raced concrete to the front row seats
Threw her bows and whiskey kisses
And left her on the street
With her hands out and her hair down
She's nothing more than a movie that never panned out

Hey, Mr. Destiny
You forgot about me
You forgot to leave a number
You forgot to name the street
This is American living with my American dream
It thunders like a river but it's cold just like a stream

[Pre-Chorus]
And this is so typical
Erased by the author of me

[Chorus]
So dance to some broken chords
With broken knees, through open doors
And save me with a microphone
Give me something so I can go home
(Give me something so I can go home)
Don't you have a lesson for me?

[Bridge]
I know now, things don't get much better than this
And I know now, life don't get much bigger than this

[Chorus]
So dance to some broken chords
With broken knees, through open doors
And save me with a microphone
Teach me something so I can go
(Teach me something so I can go)
Don't you have a lesson for me?
