Waking up in London town Thought I had us figured out Knew you as the suitcase on my floor Unpacking my wildest dreams Places I had never been The person I was when I was sure Oh my American dream Oh my American dream Every night a new embrace Under lights in a crowded place It was real, it was deep, then it was done Now that we can take our time There's a piece of me I'll find When we can truly be anyone Oh my American dream Oh my American dream You've always had a part of me You were never as you seemed My American dream A dusty road to Arizona Tells me I am getting closer Something new begins to set up shop Whispers on the warm night air Never let me sleep again I smile at who I am and who I am not I know there are years to come And many circles round the sun And I don't wanna rush what feels right So Brooklyn won't you pull me in And really get under my skin Take me as I am tonight Oh my American dream Oh my American dream You've always had a part of me But you were never as you seemed My American dream
