American teenager Lyrics – Ethel cain

[Verse 1]
Grew up under yellow light on the street

Putting too much faith in the make-believe
And another high school football team

The neighbor’s brother came home in a box
But he wanted to go, so maybe it was his fault
Another red heart taken by the American dream

[Pre-Chorus]
And I feel it there
In the middle of the night
When the lights go out and I’m all alone again

JELEEL! Breaks Down The Meaning Of “RIDE THE WAVE!”
[Chorus]
Say what you want, but say it like you mean it
With your fists for once, a long cold war
With your kids at the front
Just give it one more day, then you’rе done
Done
I do what I want, crying in the blеachers
And I said it was fun
I don’t need anything from anyone, it’s just not my year
But I’m all good out here

[Verse 2]
Sunday morning

Hands over my knees in a room full of faces
I’m sorry if I sound off, but I was probably wasted
And didn’t feel so good
Head full of whiskey but I always deliver

Jesus, if you’re listening let me handle my liquor
And Jesus, if you’re there, why do I feel alone in this room with you?

[Pre-Chorus]
And I feel it there
In the middle of the night
When the lights go out
But I’m still standing here[Chorus]
Say what you want, but say it like you mean it
With your fists for once, a long cold war
With your kids at the front

Just give it one more day, then you’re done
Done
I do what I want, crying in the bleachers
And I said it was fun
I don’t need anything from anyone
It’s just not my year
But I’m all good out here

[Chorus]
Say what you want, but say it like you mean it
With your fist for once
A long cold war
With your kids at the front
Just give it one more day, then you’re done
I do it for my daddy and I do it for Dale

I’m doing what I want and damn, I’m doing it well
For me, for me
For me, for me
