American Dream

Stream

Ooh, there’s something in the air tonight

Think I wanna kiss you outside the bar

You’ve been staying in my head and I

Think I wanna take this way too far


Your island

Calls to me through stormy seas

And I’m dying

To make it to your green light

New York City danced for me

That Summer like she couldn’t see

You were my new skyline


Now I pledge allegiance

To your wild mystery

And you’ll believe it

When you see the way I move my feet

Dancing to your motown beat

Singin’ in the street

Baby, you’re my city


You’re my American dream

Your eyes light possibility

You show me what lovin’ really means

It’s for everyone, and it’s always free


You’re my American dream, my

American dream, my

American dream, my

American dream


Now I remember

When I pulled you to my side

Sitting in the stairwell

Under phosphorescent apartment light

Said you’d be smart to run away now

But if you look back I’ll be right behind


Ooh, there’s something in the air tonight

Think I wanna kiss you outside the bar

You’ve been staying in my head and I

Think I wanna take this way too far


You’re my American dream

Your eyes light possibility

You show me what lovin’ really means

It’s for everyone, and it’s always free


You’re my American dream, my

American dream, my

American dream, my

American dream


Will you be my best friend?

Sit in the garden ‘til it’s late in the evening

Sparks flying overhead?

Will you be my president?

Tell me the state of us

Ice cream drippin’

Can I touch your face again?


Will you be my best friend?

Sit in the garden ‘til it’s late in the evening

Sparks flying overhead?

Will you be my president?

Tell me the state of us

Ice cream drippin’

Can I touch your face again?


Baby can I kiss your face again?


You’re my American dream

Your eyes light possibility

You show me what lovin’ really means

It’s for everyone, and it’s always free


You’re my American dream, my

American dream, my

American dream, my

American dream
