American Love - Jack's Mannequin

You see I’ve got this American love

A brand new planet in the solar system

I’ll kiss your 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

Big hearts are for breaking

You see I’ve 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

They’ll sound every siren

Break the door down

To find a baby crying

You thought I knew it’s just not right to tell a lie

Big hearts are for breaking

Now there’s no turning back

In the face of the sweat we shared

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’ve 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 are for breaking
