Something American

We knew each other when we were very young
 High school sweethearts, or something American
 Now we've become old, I only see photos
 She's what I thought, something American
 Something American
 But you don't call me now
 And I don't think too much about you
 But when she's not around
 I can feel you're lonely
 Oh, I can feel you're lonely somehow
 ♪
 I'm not nice like her
 Won't wear white like her
 Don't live life with the pages mapped out
 No, I'm not perfect
 But then no one is
 We're all reaching for something American
 You don't call me now
 And I don't think too much about you
 But when she's not around
 I can feel you're lonely
 I can feel you all night
 In my dreams I find
 The stars align and they all connect
 And it's you and I
 Oh, back in time, it feels so right
 But you don't call me now
 And I don't think too much about you
 But when she's not around
 I can feel you're lonely, oh
 You don't call me now
 And I don't think too much about you
 But when she's not around
 I can feel you're lonely
 Oh, I can feel you're lonely somehow
