Songs when the truth,
Are all dedicated to you,
In this invisible world I choose to live in,
And if u believe that,
That now i understand,
Why words mean so much to you,
They'll never be about you.
Maybe your young without youth,
Or maybe your old without knowing anythings true,
I think your young without youth.
Then you contract the American dream,
You'll never look up once,
You've contracted American dreams,
I'd aqquire you to stop and look up.
Sing a song about myself,
Keep singing a song about myself,
Not some invisible world. [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/i/idlewild/american_english.html ]
Constantly searching to find something new,
But what will you find when you think that nothings true,
Maybe it's that nothing is new,
So you let me hear songs that were written all about you,
The good songs weren't written for you,
They'll never be about you.
Then you contract the American dream,
You'll never look up once,
You've contracted American dreams,
You'll never look up once,
Don't look up.
Sing a song about myself,
Keep singing a song about myself,
Not some invisible world. [Repeat x2]
And i won't tell you what this means,
'Cos you already know,
And i won't tell you what this means,
'Cos you already know.
So, sing a song about myself,
Keep singing a song about myself,
Not some invisible world. [Repeat x3]
You'll find what you find,
When you find there's nothing. [Repeat x2]
Songs, when they're truth
Are all dedicated to you
In this invisible world i choose to live in
And if you believe that
Then now i understand why words mean so much to you:
Because they'll never be about you
Maybe you're young without youth
Or maybe you're old without knowing anything's true
I think you're young without youth
Then you contract the american dream
You never look up once
You've contracted american dreams
I require you to stop and look up
Sing a song about myself
Keep singing a song about myself
Not some invisible world
--
The good songs weren't written for you
And they'll never be about you
Then you contract the american dream
You never look up once
You've contracted american dreams
You never look up once
Don't look up
Sing a song about myself
Keep singing a song about myself
Not some invisible world [x 2]
And i won't tell you what this means
Cause you already know
And i won't tell you what this means
Cause you already know
So
Sing a song about myself
Keep singing a song about myself
Not some invisible world [x 3]
You came along and found the weak spot
That you've always wanted
Let yourself be everything
That you've always wanted
It doesn't have to be so decided
That you've always wanted
No need for explanations
You've always wanted
You'll find what you find
When you find there's nothing
And you'll find what you find
When you find there's nothing...
