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 cant 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 cant stand to say goodbye
