American Love - Fast Romantics

You took me home on an Ontario night

Out past the glimmer of your bicycle light

We drank red, red whiskey from a coffee cup

Those blue and white eyes shined like movies

But oh, right here

Through the night

The stripe of your shirt

The stars in your eyes

I think I’m falling

I think I’m falling

In American love

I think I’m falling

I think I’m falling

In American love

The northern lights were like fireworks up above us

And the morning gave proof that you’d still be there

To hold my hand as the bombs burst all around us

I think I’m falling

I think I’m falling

In American love

Hollywood warned me you’d be comin' around

And Hollywood pumped me full of pictures and sounds

But when the blue blue ocean rises up too high

You and me, we got that northern shelter

Oh, right here

Through the night

The stripe of your shirt

The stars in your eyes

I think I’m falling

I think I’m falling

In American love (American love)

I ain’t looking for a god damn institution (American love)

Come on darlin, just prove that you’ll still be there (American love)

Oh, I know we got some cracks in the constitution (American love)

But we can start the world over (American love)

We can start the world over (American love)

Oh, let’s start the world over again

Some buildings rise, and some buildings will fall

Ain’t no one in this world who can look after them all

But in our bright white house we play the man in black

Singing songs he knew would live forever

Oh, right here

Through the night

The stripe of your shirt

The stars in your eyes

I think I’m falling

I think I’m falling

In American love

Oh, right here

At the end of the night

Like an old movie

It turned out all right

I think I’m falling

I think I’m falling

In American love
