American TV

[Intro] Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh [Verse 1] Summer house in the woods Garden gates closed for good I don't even think about it now Looking out every day Private drive, fields of hay Really nothing to write home about [Pre-Chorus] I'll wake up tomorrow with an aching head And not 'cause I did anything I'll regret I just get that sometimes I'll wake up tomorrow, then go to sleep It's the new frontier It's the American Dream, and I'll make it sometime Mm [Chorus] And I know this isn't TV There's no twenty-minute slot I can't cast someone to be mе I can't find the perfect shots So I takе what I am given And I see there's a limit I take what I am given I'll make do with what I've got [Post-Chorus] Ooh-ooh [Verse 2] Brush my hair, let it dry Turn the air up too high Drive until it curls around my ear (Ooh) Burning bridge turns to ash Bottle it, bury that What would happen if it's dead for years? (Ooh) [Pre-Chorus] I'll wake up tomorrow with blood on my sheets There's a cut on my leg that I scratched in my sleep And it's been there ages I'll wake up tomorrow, and it's just like today With a scar that's no closer to fading away I'll forget it later [Chorus] And I know this isn't TV There's no writer, there's no plot I can't cast someone to be me I can't find the perfect shots So I take what I am given Oh, I waste so many minutes I take what I am given I'll make do with what I've got [Post-Chorus] Ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh [Outro] And I know this isn't TV But I haven't got a clue There's no audience to see me If there is, they're not in view So I take what I am given Oh, I take what I am given I just take what I am given It's the best that I can do Ooh-ooh Oh-oh
