American Love Songtext
von Jack’s Mannequin

You see I got this American love
A brand new planet in the solar system
I′ll kiss her neck, but I just can't look her in the eye

You leave for college at the turn of autumn
I spent the winter diving to the bottom
I′ll kiss your neck, but I just can't look you in the eye, yeah

Big hearts, big hearts
Big hearts are for breaking (big hearts are for breaking)
Big hearts, big hearts
Big hearts are for breaking, yeah

You see, I got this critical conscience
A brand new black hole in the solar system
I'll dig my grave, but I just can′t stand to step inside

And when they find out (when they find out)
They′ll sound every siren
Break the door down to find the baby crying
You thought I knew it's just not right to tell a lie


Big hearts, big hearts
Big hearts are for breaking (big hearts are for breaking)
Uh-uh-uh, oh-oh, big hearts, big hearts
Big hearts are for breaking, yeah, yeah

Now there′s no turning back
In the face of the sweat we share
There's nowhere to run, we are so unprepared

It′s a new heart attack
Brand new bricks on my back to bear
But don't say a word or they might find us there

You see I got this American love
A hidden planet in the solar system
But keep your eyes shut I just can′t stand to say goodbye

Big hearts, big hearts
Big hearts are for breaking (big hearts are for breaking)
Uh-uh-uh, oh-oh, big hearts, big hearts
Big hearts are for breaking, yeah (big hearts are for breaking)

Yeah, big hearts, big hearts
Big hearts are for breaking (big hearts are for breaking)
Uh-uh-uh, oh-oh, big hearts, big hearts
Big hearts are for breaking, yeah, yeah, yeah


(Big hearts are for breaking)
Uh-uh-uh, oh-oh-oh
(Big hearts are for breaking)
