Saw it on the table
I'm young and I'm able, uh-huh
Driving your mustang
I'm dumb and I'm trusting, uh-huh
Someone please stop me
The shadows can't catch me, uh-huh
You take all of me, then throw it like leaves, uh-huh

Caught up in cages, in minimum wages, uh-huh
I've love lost in sorrow, I'll see you tomorrow, uh-huh
Who needs a tight rope when walking on new hope, uh-huh
Can always believe with a dream up your sleeve, uh-huh

So come here, come here
Come here, come here
Stay with me 'til dawn
So come here, come here
Come here, come here
We're both already on

Oh, American Dreamer
Like zeppelins we're up, up in the clouds
American Dreamer
We dream and we won't be here for long

When everything's hopeless, you follow a compass, uh-huh
I'll use what you give me, like kites when it's windy, uh-huh
And heroes get boring, it's part of their glory, uh-huh
You can't let it get you halfway when I met you, uh-huh

Come here, come here
Come here, come here
Stay with me 'til dawn
So come here, come here
Come here, come here
We're both already on

Oh, American Dreamer
Like zeppelins we're up, up in the clouds
American Dreamer
We dream and we won't be here for long

Tide is high but I'm holding on
Water will rise but I'm not sailing home
Tide is high, I'm holding on
The sun's coming up but our night's still young

So come here, come here
Come here, come here
Stay with me 'til dawn
So come here, come here
Come here, come here
We're both already on

Oh, American Dreamer
Like zeppelins we're up, up in the clouds
American Dreamer
We dream and we won't be here for long…

Tide is high but I'm holding on
Waters rise, I'm not sailing home
Tide is high, I'm holding on
The sun's coming up but our night's still young
