American Football - Heir Apparent Lyrics






There's more of you and me
Than a desperate thief could ever set free
Now I'm your burden

Selfishness is inherited
Like skinny lips and tattoos (What could I do?)

I'm sorry for leaving
I'm sorry with one foot out the door
I'm unapologetically sorry for everything

All of your best attributes
Look better on me than they ever did on you
We could be each other's other burden

Selfishness is inherited
So, what could I do? (What could I do?)
I didn't catch it, kissing Jenny in the closet
I didn't learn it at school

I'm sorry you need me
For hanging on your arm, a child you can't ignore
I'm unapologetically sorry for everything
I'm sorry for aging
Growing more and more disinterested in celebrity and politic
I'm unapologetically for
Maybe more than anything, sorry you love me

Heir apparent to the throne
The king of all alone
Heir apparent to the throne
The king of all alone
Heir apparent to the throne
The king of all alone
Heir apparent to the throne
The king of all alone
Heir apparent to the throne
The king of all alone
Heir apparent to the throne
The king of all alone
Heir apparent to the throne
The king of all alone
Heir apparent to the throne
The king of all alone
Heir apparent to the throne
The king of all alone
Heir apparent to the throne
The king of all alone
Heir apparent to the throne
The king of all alone
Heir apparent to the throne

    "Selfishness is inherited

    God I'm keking so loud

  2. A.... A....

    I don't know man, this band just restores me

  3. A.... ....

    I waited one week for the right moment to watch this video in the right mood and now it's just a photo :'(

    I was so surprised that there is a video to my favourite song on the album.

  4. H.... T....

    dude drumming to this is fun asf

  5. i.... ....

    this is the quintessential midwest emo song folks. this is the pinnacle, look no further, everything else is dead

  6. i.... f....

    Who is Jenny? I always hear the name in sad song

    i.... f....

    I think the name just fits in the verse lol

  7. L.... S....

    1:26 wonderful bass line! <3

  8. T.... M....

    “Heir Apparent” is a nod to the song Air Arizona by Maritime. Davey and Mike played in Cap n’ Jazz together. Midwest bands like to reference each other with fun Easter eggs.

  9. A.... M....

    oops wrong band

  10. E.... R....

    sorry for leaving, sorry if you need me
    heir apparent to the throne, the king of all alone
    conchetumare me puse a llorar

  11. r.... ....

    its fucking homestuck

  12. J.... W....

    Dislike the choir kids, feels cheap. only complaint of this whole bands existence lol

  13. T.... L....

    Mike, I love you.

  14. J.... ....

  15. S.... B....

    Watch real football.

  16. �.... U....

    This song is too damn amazing.

  17. L.... V....

    Singing this w them on Thursday on NPR can't wait

    L.... V....

    Were you one of the kids? You guys did great, it was pretty touching.

  18. h.... h....

    best song of the new releases imo

  19. M.... C....

    My latest favorite.

  20. F.... ....

    This song just fucked me up. It's so sad.

    FFO American Football - https://youtu.be/5gCnwfJ2X7g

  23. l.... ....

    Long days
    Slow waste
    Sew lies
    Sow hate

    So many years to clean the slate
    Endless despair within its wake
    His touch soiling what used to be clean
    His gaze burning on the edge of our dreams

    No more
    Cold pace
    Slow days

    And again he rides in
    It's September and he covets the gullible
    Skeletal wish, hunter
    A thousand lies
    Cast from the throne of secrecy

    Hear him spewing forth a meaning to miserables lies
    See the twisted hand of doubt seal the affair
    The insect trust, believer
    Your body a vehicle to

    Pearls before swine they are nothing but blind
    Submit to nothing and swallow my spit of scorn
    Invisible king, dying
    Procession of woe, struck down by sorrow

    A burden so great
    Weighs heavy on old and withered beliefs
    The swift solution crumbles
    Beneath the mock notes of a masterpiece
    De.... wait wait wait, that's not right!?

  24. D.... P....

    I wasn't a huge fan of LP2, but this is so interesting, sonically, and has some beautiful melodies

  25. J.... G....

    love the kids choir at the end. This has a JudyBats feel to it ... and I mean that as a compliment

  26. M.... R....

    Man this is soo good!

  27. S.... S....

    the fluuuuuuuuuuuuuute

  28. P.... P....

    this is "americ anfootball" mmmmmhmmm....

  29. C.... G....

    corn is beautiful

  30. L.... P....

    This song -and album- reminds me why American Football saved my life when I first listened to them in 2008.

    This is seriously an 'Album of the Year' contender.

    L.... P....

    @flex56k Agree. I've listened to it straight for a week and I love it more.

  31. m.... ....

    So beautiful.

  32. R.... F....

    The flute reminds me of a song by Everyone Asked About You.

  33. K.... A....

    Heir apparent to the throne
    The king of all alone

  34. r.... w....

    This flute sounds like taken directly from JYOCHO song

    r.... w....

    And Jyocho is almost assuredly influenced by American Football. It's really cool to see Japan's mathrock scene finally start gaining traction outside thanks to the internet.

  35. B.... ....

    This albums a massive improvement from 2

    B.... ....

    I fucking love LP2

    B.... ....

    I'll never understand the hate that people give to LP2.

  36. T.... S....

    awesome

  37. D.... ....

    This isn’t Opeth

    D.... ....

    Dave Taylor this is true

  38. R.... D....

    This song is so freaking good

  39. T.... ....

    That melody at 1:28 is stupid good. The me from 5 years ago wouldn't believe that I could enjoy an album like this but I find it hard to listen to anything else rn

  40. J.... T....

    Here before 1k <3 24.03.2019

  41. s.... ....

    i thought this was a cover of Opeth

    s.... ....

    No. As an Opeth fan, I think this song is beautiful though.

  42. B.... V....

    tfw owen can't pay off your morgage anymore

    B.... V....

    Aww :'( you just made me want to buy the album twice.

  43. p.... d....

    I can't believe it's been 20 years since they put out there debut album there the true definition of a Emo band I'm glad there back

  44. B.... S....

    There's more of you in me
    Than a desperate thief
    Could ever set free
    Now I'm your burden

    Selfishness is inherited
    Like skinny lips and tattoos (What can I do?)

    I'm sorry for leaving
    I'm sorry with one foot out the door
    I'm unapologetically sorry for everything

    All of your best attributes
    Look better on me
    Than they ever did on you
    We could be each other's other burdens

    Selfishness is inherited
    So, what could I do? (What can I do?)
    I didn't catch it kissing Jenny in the closet
    I didn't learn it at school

    I'm sorry if you need me
    For hanging on your arm
    A child you can't ignore
    I'm unapologetically sorry for everything

    I'm sorry for aging
    Growing more and more disinterested
    In celebrity and politic
    Unapologetically or
    Maybe more than anything
    I'm sorry you loved me

    Heir apparent to the throne
    The King of All Alone
    Heir apparent to the throne
    The King of All Alone
    Heir apparent to the throne
    The King of All Alone
    Heir apparent to the throne
    The King of All Alone
    Heir apparent to the throne
    The King of All Alone
    Heir apparent to the throne
    The King of All Alone
    Heir apparent to the throne
    The King of All Alone
    Heir apparent to the throne
    The King of All Alone
    Heir apparent to the throne
    The King of All Alone
    Heir apparent to the throne
    The King of All Alone
    Heir apparent to the throne
    The King of All Alone
    Heir apparent to the throne
