We're a long way from home
Haven't seen you in so long
But it all came back in one moment
And the year started cold
But I didn't notice at all
When we found there's a
room we're both in
We get Chinese food
in small white boxes
Live the life we saw in Friends
Your room it barely fits the mattress
Wake up leave for work again
The wind it seems to
blow right through us
Down jackets are the trend
The rush of rushing deep into love
English girl in an American town
No elevator to the 5th floor I'll
Ring on the buzzer then
you'll be right down
I wish time would freeze
Dungarees over the hoodie we're out
Feet are 3 feet off the ground
Lost in love and we
don't wanna be found
It's just you and me
My English girl in an American town
In an American town
The days come and go
But it ends when doors close
And a scent of your perfume's on me
You're useless with your phone
Electric when one on one
I thought I would be
more nervous darling
We watch comedies
and miss the endings
Conversations 'til the dawn
Any change in tide we push against it
Challenge meanings in the song
Then head out without a reservation
Drinking out of paper bags
Wasting time is time not wasted
With my English girl in
an American town
No elevator to the 5th floor I'll
Ring on the buzzer
then you'll be right down
I wish time would freeze
Dungarees over the hoodie we're out
Feet are 3 feet off the ground
Lost in love and we don't wanna be found
It's just you and me
My English girl in an American town
And when our eyes are closed
together I can't explain
How the scent of your
perfume takes me to a higher place
We can watch it unfold or
we can change how it tastes
And rebuild when it breaks down
We drink Moscow mules
and steal the cups from
Mostly the Bowery bar
What a perfect day to fall in love on
What a way to make it start
It appears when you
think all is lost then
You don't remember when
It started never have to pretend
With my English girl in
an American town
No elevator to the 5th floor I'll
Ring on the buzzer then
you'll be right down
I wish time would freeze
Dungarees over the hoodie we're out
Feet are 3 feet off the ground
Lost in love and we
don't wanna be found
It's just you and me
English girl in an American town
No elevator to the 5th floor I'll
Ring on the buzzer then
you'll be right down
I wish time would freeze
Dungarees over the hoodie we're out
Feet are 3 feet off the ground
Lost in love and we
don't wanna be found
It's just you and me
My English girl in an American town
