American Girls

Counting Crows

She comes out on fridays every time
Stand out in a line
I could've been anyone she'd seen
She waits another week to fall apart
She couldn't make another day
I wish it was anyone but me
It could've been anyone you see
She had something breakable just under 
Her skin

American girls, all weather & noise
Playing the changes for all the of the boys
Holding a candle up to my hand
Making me feel so incredible

She comes out of closets every night
But then she locks herself away
Where she could keep everything from me
I could've been anyone you see
She's nothing but porcelain underneath 
Her skin

American girls, all weather & noise
Playing the changes for all the of the boys
Holding a candle up to my hand
Making me feel so incredible

Little shivers shaking me every day
But I could get the same thing anywhere
So if she goes away
Well, it's alright and I'm okay
"hey," she said, "come back again tonight."
I said, "i might, I might, I might."
She said, "well that's alright
If it's alright with you, then it's alright
With me."

I waited for an hour last friday night
She never came around
She took almost everything from me
I'm going through my closets
Trying on her clothes almost everyday
I could've been anyone you see
I wish it was anyone but me
There's nothing but pills and ashes under
My skin

American girls, all weather & noise
Playing the charges for all the of the boys
Holding a candle right up to my hand
Making me feel so incredible
If I made you cry, please tell me why
Cause I'll try again if you let me try
American girls, all feathers & cream
Come into bed so edible
