American Cliché

(Okay) Too little to do for too long and Too little of you for my songs To be anything but lonely In a couple weeks, you'll own me Too tired to sleep, good morning And I'm too wired to heed the warning That there's danger in the summer The calm before the thunder I'm an American cliché Missing a girl in a French café I say, "Goddamn, you're beautiful" You're blushing, duck out of frame I'm an American cliché Missing a girl in a French café I say, "How'd I get along, so long without you" And you say, "Same" Graveyard, Jim Morrison, forever In my arms, they'll have to bury us together 'Cause I'm never gonna let you go Uh-oh, uh-oh Missed my flight, making love in the morning While everybody else was boarding They love to say they told you so I know, I know, I know I'm an American cliché Missing a girl in a French café I say, "Goddamn, you're beautiful" You're blushing, duck out of frame I'm an American cliché Missing a girl in a French café I say, "How'd I get along, so long without you" And you say, "Same" Come on over now You're one layover down No one that we know around Don't want the city without you I want you We'll go all over town No one that we know around Can't say I'm sober now Do something I'm not allowed to I want you I'm an American cliché Missing a girl in a French café I say, "Goddamn, you're beautiful" You're blushing, duck out of frame I'm an American cliché Missing a girl in a French café I say, "How'd I get along, so long without you" And you say, "Same"
