I wanna be the American dream But I need you right next to me If I'm ever gonna feel free Will you stay awake all night with me? We can fall asleep tomorrow Will you hang on to every word I speak From now on? Because I wanna be the American dream But I need you right next to me If I'm ever gonna feel free You know when you're good And you know when you're not And right now baby I am near the top You won't be seeing much of me This coming year But I'll check back up on you If you wait here But every time you leave me I swear to god it gets much worse When I lean in you'll say goodbye I bet I'll choke on my damn words As if they're ever really worth singing I wanna be the American dream But I need you right next to me If I'm ever gonna feel free I wanna be the American dream (woah oh oh) But I need you right next to me (woah oh oh) If I'm ever gonna feel free (woah oh oh) Oh, I'm never gonna be free
