American Girls
She comes out on Fridays every timeStands out in a lineI could’ve been anyone she’d seenShe waits another week to fall apartShe couldn¹t make another dayI wish it was anyone but meIt could’ve been anyone you seeShe had something breakable just under her skin
American girls, all weather & noisePlaying the changes for all of the boysHolding a candle up to my handMaking me feel so incredible
She comes out of closets every nightBut then she locks herself awayWhere she could keep everything from meI could¹ve been anyone you seeShe¹s nothing but porcelain underneath her skin
American girls, all weather & noisePlaying the changes for all of the boysHolding a candle up to my handMaking me feel so incredible
Little shivers shaking me every dayBut I could get the same thing anywhereSo if she goes awayWell it’s alright and I’m okay“Hey”, she said, “Come back again tonight”I said, “I might I might I might”She said, “Well that’s alright.If it’s alright with you, then it’s alright with me”
I waited for an hour last Friday nightShe never came aroundShe took almost everything from meI¹m going through my closetsTrying on her clothes almost everydayI could’ve been anyone you seeI wish it was anyone but meTheres nothing but pills and ashes under my skin
American girls, all weather & noise,Playing the charges for all of the boysHolding a candle right up to my handMaking me feel so incredibleIf I made you cry, please tell me whyCause I’ll try again if you let me tryAmerican girls, all feathers & creamCome into bed so edible
