Artist/Band: Idlewild
Lyrics for Song: American English
Lyrics for Album: Collection [2010]



Songs, when the truth, are all dedicated to you

And this invisible world I choose to live in

And if you believe that then now I understand

Why words mean so much to you

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

And 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



Constantly searching to find something new

But what will you find when you think that nothing's 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 never look up once

You've contracted American Dreams

You never look up once, so dont look up



Sing a song about myself

Keep singing a song about myself

Not some invisible world



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



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

As you've always wanted

No need for explanations

You've always wanted



And you'll find what you'll find

When you find there's nothing

And you'll find what you'll find

When you find there's nothing
