Jade Bird - Something American Lyrics






We knew each other when we were very young
High school sweethearts, or something American
Now we've become older I only see photos
She's what I thought, something American
Something American

But you don't call me now
And I don't think too much about you
But when she's not around
I can feel you're lonely
Oh, I can feel you're lonely somehow

I'm not nice like her
Won't wear white like her
Don't live life with the pages mapped out
No, I'm not perfect
But then no one is
We're all reaching for something American

But you don't call me now
And I don't think too much about you
But when she's not around
I can feel you're lonely

I can feel you all night
In my dreams I find
The stars align and they all collide
And it's you and I
Oh, back in time, it feels so right

But you don't call me now
And I don't think too much about you
But when she's not around
I can feel you're lonely, oh

You don't call me now
And I don't think too much about you
But when she's not around
I can feel you're lonely, oh
I can feel you're lonely somehow

We knew each other when we were very young
High school sweethearts, or something American

  13. C.... A....

    She sings the way I expect female singers to do it: clear tone, grounded and powerful, like women used to sing before 2005, before women and men singing standards switched to weak whispery whiny vocals, behind an ukulele.

  14. G.... Z....

    No British Airways flights to Malaysia were found. I was playing the songs for all the music games and I stayed with the rest of the flight listening to the CD and I did not listen to the song again. I adored it and do not stop to sing. You will be a great star and when you come.
    PS: Thank you for helping us get better like a 13-hour flight.

  44. c.... ....

    Absolutely top talent of 2018 I'm calling it now..very very good.

  45. J.... N....

    I heard you on KCRW with Jason Bentley and understand why you were a hit at Coachellafest. I am also impressed by the fact you have a woman bass player. You have quite a group of musicians. Can't wait wait to hear more of the songs you have written. I am picking up your vinyls. Best wishes on your tour.

  46. T.... q....

    Everybody is after something bigger and better, why can't we just live simple and be happy with what we've got but no we see Sheila from round the corners got a fancy new sports car and we want it, we see Thomas on YouTube having a great time in Thailand and we want to go, I suppose it's human nature to want more but make sure your doing it for yourself not so you can try and prove yourself to others dos that's not cool man, there's a lot of people out there who would love to be in the situation your on so don't take it for granted by constantly wanting more

  47. t.... ....

    Love this song so much and love the setup of this video!

  48. E.... C....
