American Secrets

When the sun set low in the blood red sky, yeah
 Every house called out as we passed them by, yeah
 She would grab my hand as the trees leaned in, yeah
 Oh I'm still racing home from the place I've been
 It was all I knew
 I was waiting for the big one
 And I stayed forever
 Oh, oh, American secrets
 I dreamed it was ours
 That we just didn't know yet
 We would drive out through every lonely street, yeah
 Smell the truth in hear hair, felt the world at my feet, yeah
 But we were just two kids in a beat-up car
 Oh I'm still driving home from the things I've done
 It was all I knew
 I was waiting for the big one
 And I stayed forever
 Oh, oh, American secrets
 I dreamed it was ours
 That we just didn't know yet
 Oh, oh, American secrets
 I dreamed it was ours
 That was lost in the regrets
 We were caught on the inside
 Left it all on that bedside
 Give me one more minute with those baby blues
 We pulled up
 Oh, she looks back in ways as I wait too long
 I can picture her room as the lights turn on
 I'm still dancing alone with the way it was
 I'm still dancing alone with the way it was
 Give me one more, give me one more
 Give me one more minute with my baby
 (Oh, oh)
 Give me one more, give me one more
 Give me one more minute with American secrets
 (Oh, oh)
 Give me one more, give me one more
 Oh she looks back in ways as she slips inside
 Every hope in the world in those bright blue eyes
 I'm still dancing alone with the way it was
 Got my mind made up
 And I'm coming back for you
 I can hear your voice calling and I'll be there soon
 I can see you there
 In the bedroom by the stairs
 Oh, I've always been running but I don't know where
 And oh, and oh
 It took twenty-five years but I finally see
 Not the boy I was
 In the car that you saw leave
 But I'm still not the man that I thought I'd be
 But when those trumpets sound
 When the good Lord calls my name
 Oh, I'm gonna be with you, oh I'm gonna be with you
 And oh, and oh
 It took twenty-five years but I finally see
 And oh, and oh
 It took twenty-five years but I finally see
 It took twenty-five years but I finally see
 It took twenty-five years but I think I see
