[Verse 1:]
|
When the sun fell low in the blood red sky yeah
|
Every house called out as we passed them by yeah
|
She would grab my hand as the trees leaned in yeah
|
Oh I'm still racing home from the place I've been
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
It was all I knew, I was waiting for the big one
|
And I stay forever (oooooh oh oooh oh ohhhh)
|
American secrets (oooooh oh oooh oh ohhhh)
|
Had a dream it was ours and we just didn't know yet
|
|
[Verse 2:]
|
We would drive by right through every lonely street yeah
|
Smell the truth in her hair felt the world in my feet yeah
|
But we were just two kids in a beat up car
|
Oh I'm still driving home from the things I've done
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
It was all I knew, I was waiting for the big one
|
And I stay forever (oooooh oh oooh oh ohhhh)
|
American secrets (oooooh oh oooh oh ohhhh)
|
Had a dream it was ours that we just didn't know yet (oooooh oh oooh oh ohhhh)
|
American secrets (oooooh oh oooh oh ohhhh)
|
Had a dream it was ours that was lost in the regrets
|
|
[Bridge:]
|
We were caught on the inside
|
Left it all on that bedside
|
Give me one more minute with those baby blues
|
We pull up
|
Oh she looks back and waves as I wait too long
|
I can picture her room as the lights go on
|
I'm still dancing along with the way it was
|
I'm still dancing along with the way it was
|
Give me one more, give me one more
|
Give me one more minute with my baby
|
Give me one more, give me one more
|
Give me one more minute with American secrets
|
Give me one more, give me one more
|
Oh she looks back and waves as she slips inside
|
Every hope in the world and those bright blue eyes
|
I'm still dancing along with the way it was
|
|
Got my mind made up
|
And I'm coming back for you
|
I can hear your voice calling and I'll be there soon
|
I can see you there in the bedroom by those stairs
|
Oh I've always been running but I don't know where
|
And ohhh oh oooh and ohhh oh oooh
|
It took 25 years but I finally see
|
Not the boy I was in the car that you saw me
|
I'm still not the man that I thought I'd be
|
But when those trumpets sound when the good Lord calls my name
|
Oh I'm gonna be with you
|
Oh I'm gonna be with you
|
And ohhh oh oooh
|
And ohhh oh oooh
|
It took 25 years but I finally see
|
And ohhh oh oooh
|
And ohhh oh oooh
|
It took 25 years but I finally see
|
It took 25 years but I finally see
|
It took 25 years but I think I see
|
