American Town (Live from Kari’s Living Room)

[Verse 1]

We're a long way from home

Haven't seen you in so long

But it all came back in one moment

And the year started cold

But I didn't notice at all

When we found there's a room we're both in

[Pre-Chorus]

We eat Chinese food in small white boxes

Live the life we saw in Friends

Your room, it barely fits the mattress

Wake up, leave for work again

The wind, it seems to blow right through us

Down jackets are the trend

The rush of rushing deep into love

[Chorus]

English girl in an American town

No еlevator to the fifth floor

I'll ring on the buzzеr, then you'll be right down

I wish time would freeze

Dungarees over the hoodie, we're out

Feet are three feet off the ground

Lost in love and we don't wanna be found

It's just you and me

My English girl in an American town, na, na, now

In an American town, na, na, now, now

[Verse 2]

And the days come and go

And it end when doors close

And the scent of your perfume's on me

You're useless with your phone

Electric when one-on-one

I thought I would be more nervous, darlin'

[Pre-Chorus]

We watch comedies and miss the endings

Conversations till the dawn

Any change in tide, we push against it

Challenge meanings in the songs

And head out without a reservation

Drinkin' out of paper bags

And wasting time is time not wasted

[Chorus]

With my English girl in an American town

No elevator to the fifth floor

I'll ring on the buzzer, then you'll be right down

I wish time would freeze

Dungarees over the hoodie, we're out

Feet are three feet off the ground

Lost in love and we don't wanna be found

It's just you and me

My English girl in an American town

[Bridge]

And when our eyes are closed together, I can't explain

How the scent of your perfume takes me to a higher place

We can watch it unfold or we can change how it takes

And rebuild when it breaks down

[Pre-Chorus]

We drink Moscow Mules and steal the cups

From, mostly, the Bowery Bar

What a perfect way to fall in love on

What a way to make it start

It appears, when you think all is lost

Then, you don't remember when it happened

Never have to pretend

[Chorus]

With my English girl in an American town

No elevator to the fifth floor

I'll ring on the buzzer, then you'll be right down

I wish time would freeze

Dungarees over the hoodie, we're out

Feet are three feet off the ground

Lost in love and we don't wanna be found

It's just you and me

English girl in an American town

No elevator to the fifth floor

I'll ring on the buzzer, then you'll be right down

I wish time would freeze

Dungarees over the hoodie, we're out

Feet are three feet off the ground

Lost in love and we don't wanna be found

It's just you and me

My English girl in an American town
