American Girls

(Intro)
Red lips, blue skies, hearts on fire
Dreams dressed up in cheap desire
Running wild, chasing thrills
We were born to break the still

(Verse 1)
Convertible nights on a faded street
Radio loud with a reckless beat
We don’t sleep, we just pretend
Every story’s gonna bend

Polaroids and cigarette smoke
Laugh too hard at a bad joke
We say forever like we’re sure
Even when we’re insecure

(Pre-Chorus)
We don’t wanna be saved
We just wanna feel alive
Every mistake we made
Just another way to shine

(Chorus)
American girls, we’re gasoline hearts
Burning too fast, falling apart
Dancing on dreams that never stay
We love too hard, then run away

American girls, wild and free
Writing our names in history
Broken but glowing in neon curls
We’re just reckless American girls

(Post-Chorus)
Oh-oh, we don’t look back
Oh-oh, we live like that
Oh-oh, nothing to lose
American girls, we make the rules

(Verse 2)
Midnight calls and motel signs
Crossing state lines, crossing lines
We kiss like it’s the last goodbye
Even when we know it’s a lie

High heels kicking off in the sand
Holding onto someone’s hand
We don’t ask where this will go
We just let the chaos flow

(Pre-Chorus)
We don’t wanna be tamed
We don’t fit in your design
Every scar, every flame
Just a mark of our time

(Chorus)
American girls, we’re gasoline hearts
Burning too fast, falling apart
Dancing on dreams that never stay
We love too hard, then run away

American girls, wild and free
Writing our names in history
Broken but glowing in neon curls
We’re just reckless American girls

(Bridge)
We’re the headlines, we’re the noise
We’re the chaos you can’t avoid
We’re the truth you try to hide
We’re the fire you can’t deny

Paint the night in black and gold
Every secret left untold
If we crash, we crash in style
It was worth it all the while

(Breakdown)
No regrets, no control
We were young, we lost our souls
But we found something real
In the way we choose to feel

(Final Chorus)
American girls, we’re gasoline hearts
Living like art, tearing apart
Every rule they tried to make
Every chance we dared to take

American girls, loud and bright
Fading into morning light
Legends written in shattered pearls
Forever young, American girls

(Outro)
Red lips, blue skies, hearts unfurled
We were never just girls
We were something they couldn’t hold
American girls…
