American Girls lyrics

She comes out on Fridays every time

Stands out in a line

I could’ve been anyone she’d seen

She waits another week to fall apart

She couldn¹t make another day

I wish it was anyone but me

It could’ve been anyone you see

She had something breakable just under her skin

American girls, all weather & noise

Playing the changes for all of the boys

Holding a candle up to my hand

Making me feel so incredible

She comes out of closets every night

But then she locks herself away

Where she could keep everything from me

I could¹ve been anyone you see

She¹s nothing but porcelain underneath her skin

American girls, all weather & noise

Playing the changes for all of the boys

Holding a candle up to my hand

Making me feel so incredible

Little shivers shaking me every day

But I could get the same thing anywhere

So if she goes away

Well it’s alright and I’m okay

“Hey”, she said, “Come back again tonight”

I said, “I might I might I might”

She said, “Well that’s alright.

If it’s alright with you, then it’s alright with me”

I waited for an hour last Friday night

She never came around

She took almost everything from me

I¹m going through my closets

Trying on her clothes almost everyday

I could’ve been anyone you see

I wish it was anyone but me

Theres nothing but pills and ashes under my skin

American girls, all weather & noise,

Playing the charges for all of the boys

Holding a candle right up to my hand

Making me feel so incredible

If I made you cry, please tell me why

Cause I’ll try again if you let me try

American girls, all feathers & cream

Come into bed so edible
