Lyrics American Love - Fast Romantics

American Love

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
