Justin Vernon
American Dream
[Verse 1: Mista Mister]
I don't wanna let you get my sleep tonight
But it's not as if I don't need you tonight
'Cause even though I've been lonely
I never felt the love that I feel inside
Let's think of all the things we'd rather not say
And I hear your voice calling out so loud
And tonight it sounds just like trouble
And I know that it ain't your love
Don't let the night drag you away
Never let the tears turn to sighs
I can't sleep 'cause I'm too up for work
I'm too lazy to loosen up my clothes
Fall asleep at night, early in the morning
[Chorus: Dwele]
It's the American dream, ooh
It's the American dream, ooh, ayy
It's the American dream, ooh
It's the American dream, ooh, ayy
It's the American dream, ooh
It's the American dream, ooh, ayy
[Verse 2: Mista Mister]
For the world to know
And it's hard for me to sleep
We'll find a place where we can be free
We'll find a way to breathe
We will find a place, and a place to stay
We'll find a place where we can be free
You are the one who made my mind understand
You are the one who made my life what it is
You are the one who made my life what it is
I remember every moment of every day of
You are the one who made my dreams come true
You are the one who made my life what it is
I just want to wrap my arms around you
And I'll take what I might leave unappreciated
We'll live until we're dead or if it feels good
And think of all our friends who've changed
Think of me on a different day
[Chorus: Dwele]
It's the American dream, ooh
It's the American dream, ooh, ayy
It's the American dream, ooh
It's the American dream, ooh, ayy
It's the American dream, ooh
It's the American dream, ooh, ayy
[Bridge: Mista Mister & Dwele & Justin Vernon]
And there you are
I'm just dreaming of you
I'm just dreaming of you
You're just dreaming of you (Hey)
You're just dreaming of you (Ooh-ooh)
I'm just singing this love song (Ayy, oh)
Then I was buried beneath the rocks (Rocks, ooh)
Her touch was like coal
Crumble into one, come along with me (Come along)
[Chorus: Dwele]
It's the American dream, ooh
It's the American dream, ooh, ayy
It's the American dream, ooh
It's the American dream, ooh, ayy
It's the American dream, ooh
It's the American dream, ooh, ayy
