Gracie Abrams
American Teenager
[Intro]
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
[Verse 1]
I grew up under yellow light on a street
Putting too much faith into make believe
And another high school football team
(Ma, ah-ah, ah-ah)
The neighbor's brother came home in a box
But, he wanted to go, so maybe it was his fault
Another radar taken by the American dream
[Pre-Chorus]
And I feel it there
In the middle of the night
When the lights go out
And I'm all alone again
[Chorus]
Well, say what you want, but say it like you mean it
With your fist for once
A long, cold war with your kids at the front
Just give it one more day, then we're done
Done
I do what I want
I'm crying in the bleachers, and I said it was fun
I don't need anything from anyone
It's just not my year
But I'm all good
[Verse 2]
Sunday, morning
Hands over my knees in a room full of faces
I'm sorry if I seem off, I was probably wasted
(Wasted) And didn't feel so good (Didn't feel so good)
I got a head full of whiskey, but I always deliver
And Jesus, if you're listening, let me handle my liquor
And Jesus, if you're there, why do I feel alone in this room?
With you, ha
[Pre-Chorus]
And I feel it here
In the middle of the night
When the lights go out
But I'm still standing here
[Chorus]
Well, say what you want, but say it like you mean it
With your fist for once
A long, cold war with your kids at the front
Just give it one more day, then we're done
Done
I do what I want
I'm crying in the bleachers, and I said it was fun
I don't need anything from anyone
It's just not my year
But I'm all good out here
(Say what you want, but say it like you mean it)
With your fist for once
A long, cold war with your kids at the front
Just give it one more day, then we're done
(Done)
I do it for my daddy, and I do it for Dale
I'm doing what I want, damn, I'm doing it well
For me, for me, for me
For me, for me, oh
[Outro]
Ah-ah, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh
Mm
