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 warnin'

That there's danger in the summer

The calm before the thunder

I'm an American cliché

Missin' a girl in a French cafe

I say, "God damn, you're beautiful"

You're blushin', duck out of frame

I'm an American cliché

Missin' a girl in a French cafe

I say, "I don't get along, so alone 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, makin' love in the morning

While everybody else was boarding and they love to say they told you so

But I know, I know, I know

I'm an American cliché

Missin' a girl in a French cafe

I say, "God damn, you're beautiful"

You're blushin', duck out of frame

I'm an American cliché

Missin' a girl in a French cafe

I say, "I don't get along, so alone without you"

And you say, "Same"

Come on over now, you wanna lay over now

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

Missin' a girl in a French cafe

I say, "God damn, you're beautiful"

You're blushin', duck out of frame

I'm an American cliché

Missin' a girl in a French cafe

I say, "I don't get along, so alone without you"

And you say, "Same"
