Lyrics: American Secrets

When the sun fell low in the blood red sky
Every house called out as we passed them by
She would grab my hand as the trees leaned in
Oh I'm still racing home from the place I've been
It was all I knew
I was waiting for the big one
And I stayed forever

American secrets
Had a dream that was ours that we just didn't know yet /

We would drive out through every lonely street
Smelled the truth in her hair
Felt the world at my feet
But we were just two kids in a beat up car
Oh I'm still driving home from the things I've done
It was all I knew
I was waiting for the big one
And I stayed forever

American secrets
Had a dream that was ours that we just didn't know yet
American secrets
Had a dream that was ours that was lost in the regrets

We were caught on the inside
Left it all on that bedside
Give me one more minute with those baby blues.
We pull up
Oh she looks back and waves as I wait too long
I can picture her room as a light turns on
I'm still dancing alone with the way it was
I'm still dancing alone with the way it was
I'm still dancing alone with the way it was

Give me one more
Give me one more
Give me one more minute with
My baby
Give me one more
Give me one more
Give me one more minute with
American secrets
Give me one more
Give me one more
Give me one more minute with Her
Oh she looks back and waves as she slips inside
Every hope in the world in those bright blue eyes
I'm still dancing alone with the way it was

Got my mind made up
And I'm coming back for you
I can hear your voice calling and I'll be there soon
I can see you there
In the bedroom by the stairs
Oh I've always been running but I don't know where
It took 25 years but I finally see
Not the boy I was
In the car that you saw leave
But I'm still not the man that I thought I'd be
But when the trumpets sound
And the good Lord calls my name
Oh I'm gonna be with you
Oh I'm gonna be with you
It took 25 years but I finally see
It took 25 years but I finally see
It took 25 years but I finally see
