Sangtekst: The Goodnight Anthem. American Movie.

She?s on a green island
Looking in the wrong direction
She doesn?t notice the water is by her side

He?s thinking now that maybe we
Don?t think we could not be
Can be in love like those in an american movie

I?m saying come close to me
Well as clear as this air we breathe
Now I can see, well as long as this night can be

Oh oh oh oh

Now it?s getting late
And he?s lost perception
But it?s clear as day, who?s by his side

Well she thinking now
we could not be
Don?t think we could not be
As those in love like those in an american movie

You got me saying come close to me
Well as clear as this air we breathe
Now I can see, well as long as this night can be

Oh, and nothing lasts forever
At least we have tonight
Come close to me
And stay with me

Take me back to way I want it
Take me back to the way things used to be
I?m too young to be empty hearted
Old enough to have one taken from me

Take me back to way I want it
Take me back to the way things used to be
The way things used to
The way things used to be

Come close to me
As long as clear as the air we breathe
Now I can see, well as long as this night can be

Oh, and nothing lasts forever
At least we have tonight
Come close to me
And stay with me
Stay with me
