You've been sending all the right messages
I think this could be the Genesis
Of something sweet and ripe and dangerous
And it's hanging from a tree
It's made up of all the things that could be
Made for you and me
I know the Earth is gonna die,
But will you burn alive with me?
Watch it all go down with the ship
But with you
I can't picture the end
'Cause with you, I
At least I'm dreaming again
Maybe we can make it
If we play our cards right
Filling up our cup
While boasting empty appetites
Maybe, maybe we can find a way
To make it alright
You and me
Living the American dream
We've been
Causing trouble on the South Side
Chasing what's gonna
Put our name up in lights
(In every city they scream our name)
Using the hole in my heart
To make depressing art
'Cause I'm a little bit tortured
With an acoustic guitar
And you're an innocent boy
With an optimist heart
And I like how we fit
And we might
Be losing sleep at night
But with you
I think we'll be alright
I think we'll be just fine
Maybe we can make it
If we play our cards right
Filling up our cup
While boasting empty appetites
Maybe, maybe we can find a way
To make it alright
You and me
Living the American dream
Ready? Okay
Play your ace, I'll play my spade
2, 4, 6, 8
Only we can choose our fate
Maybe we can make it
Maybe we can make it make it
Maybe we can make it
Living the American dream
