Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Living the good life full of good vibes
My eyes are on the gray skies
Sayin' I don't wanna come home tonight
Yeah, and I'm high up, off what?
I don't even remember
But my friend passed out in the Uber ride
[Verse 2]
Oh, I'm from the city of the 915
Where all the girls are pretty
And they're down for the hype
All my boys are with me
Going up for the night
But who cares, who cares?
[Verse 3]
'Cause this is our year
So wake me up in the spring
While I'm high off my American dream (American dream)
We don't always say what we mean
It's the lie of the American teen
[Verse 4]
Maybe the end is near
But I been waiting all year
To get the hell up out of here
And throw away my fears
I'm so faded (I'm so faded)
Off of all the things that I've taken
And maybe I'm not really drunk
Maybe I'm really good at faking
[Verse 5]
From the city of the 915
Where all the girls are pretty
And they're down for the hype
And all my boys are with me
Going up for the night
But who cares, who cares?
[Verse 6]
'Cause this is our year
So wake me up in the spring
While I'm high off my American dream (American dream)
We don't always say what we mean
It's the lie of the American teen (American teen)
[Verse 7]
My youth is the foundation of me
Living life as an American teen (American teen)
American teen
[Verse 8]
We don't always say what we mean
When we're high off our American teen
My youth is the foundation of me
Oh, I'm proud to be American
[Verse 9]
So wake me up in the spring
While I'm high off my American (American teen)
And we don't always say what we mean
It's the lie of an American teen (American teen)
My youth is the foundation of me
Living life as an American teen (American teen)
American teen
American teen
[Verse 10]
(Right here)
American teenager
And I'll be living this dream with you
[Verse 11]
We don't always say what we mean
When we're high off our American teen
My youth is the foundation of me
Oh, I'm proud to be American
