American Love - Espen Lind

I’m lying wide awake in bed

My eyes are closed just like I’m dead

My friends all think that I’m a bore

But I don’t need them anymore

I don’t get up I don’t go out

I have no life to speak about

It feels so good to leave the blame with you

That’s what I do

I’m going down

Come around

Watch me when I hit the ground

Give me just one fix of your

Your sweet american love

I go blind

Lose my mind

Leave the world I know behind

Just to feel it one last time

Sweet american love

My telephone is off the hook

My eyes are closed I’m scared to look

I bet you’re happy now you’re free

But what about poor little me

I draw your picture on the wall

My phone is dead and still your call

My mama asked I told her I get by

That’s such a lie

I’m going down

Come around

Watch me when I hit the ground

Give me just one fix of your

Your sweet american love

I go blind

Lose my mind

Leave the world I know behind

Just to feel it one last time

My sweet american love

I’ve kept the things you gave to me

The air is clear but I can’t see

And a cheerful radio boasts that «Love is in the air»

But it’s so full of shit

A sony is it?

So what D’ya you have to leave me for

Was it my hair, was I such a bore

Well you know baby

That you were always my only choice

(goin' down, come around, watch me when I hit the ground)

Gimme just one fix of your, your american love, american love

(I go blind, lose my mind, leave the world I know behind)

Just to feel it one last time

Oh Damn You
