The Great American Dream versuri

The Great American Dream lyrics by Norman Leonides

Verse 1
Don’t you wanna get out of here?
Leave behind the silence and the years of fear
We could look back at the past in the rearview mirror
But talk about the future, ‘cause the end is near

Pre-Chorus
Just think about it, we don’t gotta tell no one
Go down to Montecito, watch the setting sun
Don’t tell her that you’re coming, me and you, we’re runnin’
I’ve dreamed about this day, let’s call it love or somethin’

Chorus
We could run away, go far away
We’re going for a drive, we’ll be back in a day
The top’s down, my body’s out, now I scream
Is this what it’s like living the Great American—

Verse 2
We’re only gonna be this young for so long
It’s all gonna be memories, so hold on
Summer starts to fade, like a movie I can’t replay
Life keeps moving faster, let’s make the most out of today

Pre-Chorus
Just think about it, we don’t gotta tell no one
Go down to Montecito, watch the setting sun
Don’t tell her that you’re coming, me and you, we’re runnin’
I’ve dreamed about this day, let’s call it love or somethin’

Chorus
We could run away, go far away
We’re going for a drive, we’ll be back in a day
The top’s down, my body’s out, now I scream
Is this what it’s like living the Great American—

Bridge
I don’t care about nothin’, you’re my gorgeous distraction
We’re Pretty Young Things, no, this ain’t Michael Jackson
And I know it may be hard to leave your family
But they don’t care for you, they just want you to be manly
I know you wanna leave, I see it in your eyes
We’re everlasting lovers, I’ll love you till I die
We’re living the Great American Dream

Verse 3
Babe, what do you say?
Remember those days?
All I want to do is leave
I’d hope you’d come with me
Don’t tell no one
Everyone knows we’re done
Now it’s time to leave
Leave with me, baby (Oh)

Chorus
We could run away, go far away
We’re going for a drive, we’ll be back in a day
The top’s down, my body’s out, now I scream
Is this what it’s like living the Great American Dream?

Outro
(I know you wanna leave, I see it in your eyes)
(We’re everlasting lovers, I’ll love you till I die)
(We’re living the Great American Dream)
(Ah, oh)
