Lautrec - American Dream Lyrics

You could be the one
But I guess I'm an asshole
We could build a family
Fix up a broken home
We never had much
So we build up a fortress
We could have kids
With my eyes and your freckles
But their mama got mood swings
Daddy's trapped in headspace
There's just a few things
That love doesn't cover
Our feelings aren't insurance
And we need to grow up
Our feelings are legit
But we need to grow up

I can't always be on my hundred
I am not a machine
I'm only needed at my best
Any less and I'm a fiend

You could be the one to tie me
(Tie me)
You could be my American Dream
We could settle down
Rent a place downtown
We could name our daughter after your mom
But you could be the one to kill me
(Kill me)
You could be my American Dream
It feels like I have to wear someone else's skin
Or else you're breaking apart

You could be the one
But I guess I'm an asshole
We could build a family
Fix up a broken home
We never had much
So we build up a fortress
We could have kids
With my eyes and your freckles
But their mama got mood swings
Daddy's trapped in headspace
There's just a few things
That love doesn't cover
Our feelings aren't insurance
And we need to grow up
Our feelings are legit
But we need to grow up

I can't always be on my hundred
I am not a machine
I'm only needed at my best
Any less and I'm a fiend

You could be the one to tie me
(Tie me)
You could be my American Dream
We could settle down
Rent a place downtown
We could name our daughter after your mom
But you could be the one to kill me
(Kill me)
You could be my American Dream
It feels like I have to wear someone else's skin
Or else you're breaking apart

You could be the one to tame me
(Tame me)
Contain me in your American Dream
I could tie you down
Buy a ring downtown
We could die in a small ass town
But you could be the one to kill me
(Kill me)
Feed into my American Dream
Cause it feels like
I have to wear someone else's skin
Or else I'm breaking your heart
