American Cliché

[Verse 1] (Okay) Too little to do for too long and Too little of you for my songs to be anything but lonely In a couple weeks, you'll own me Too tired to sleep, good morning And I'm too wired to heed the warnin' That there's danger in the summer The calm before the thunder [Chorus] I'm an American cliché Missin' a girl in a French café I say, "God damn, you're beautiful" You blush and duck out of frame I'm an American cliché Missin' a girl in a French café I say, "How'd I get along so long without you" And you say, "Same" [Verse 2] Graveyard, Jim Morrison, Forever In my arms, they'll have to bury us together 'Cause I'm never gonna let you go Uh-oh, uh-oh Missed my flight, makin' love in the morning While everybody else was boarding They love to say they told you so I know, I know, I know [Chorus] I'm an American cliché Missin' a girl in a French café I say, "God damn, you're beautiful" You blush and duck out of frame I'm an American cliché Missin' a girl in a French café I say, "How'd I get along, so long without you" And you say, "Same" [Bridge] Come on over now, you're one layover down? No one that we know around Don't want the city without you I want you We'll go all over town No one that we know around Can't say I'm sober now Do something I'm not allowed to I want you [Chorus] I'm an American cliché Missin' a girl in a French café I say, "God damn, you're beautiful" You blush and duck out of frame I'm an American cliché Missin' a girl in a French café I say, "How'd I get along so long without you" And you say, "Same"
