Verse 1
Songs when they're true, are all dedicated to you
In this invisible world I choose to live in
And if you believe that for now I understand
Why words mean so much to you
They'll never be about you
Maybe you're young without youth
Maybe you're old without, knowing anything's true
I think you're young without youth....
Pre-chorus
Then you contract the American dream
You never look up once
You've contracted American dreams
I require you to stop and look up.
Chorus
Sing a song about myself
Keep singing a song about myself
Not some invisible world
Verse 2
Constantly searching to find something new
But what will you find when you think that nothing's true?
Maybe it's that nothing is new
So you let me hear songs that were written all about you
Because songs weren't written for you
They'll never be about you
Pre-chorus
Then you contracted American dreams
You never look up once
You've contracted American dreams
I require you to stop and look up.
Chorus
Sing a song about myself
Keep singing a song about myself
Not some invisible world
Sing a song about myself
Keep singing a song about myself
Not some invisible world
Bridge
You came along and found the weak spot - that you've always wanted
Let yourself be everything that youve always wanted
It doesnt have to be so silent - that you've always wanted
no need for explanations - that you've always wanted
You'll find, what you find when you find theres nothing x 2
