Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lover, don't be sad
Think of the time we've had
The moment's truer now
It won't last
I don't wanna wave goodbye
Shout out a thousand times
I love you till the moment dies
[Verse 2]
What am I gonna do?
I can't survive on my Amerika
If the worst is true
Is it just a waste of time?
What am I tryna find?
Are you alive?
Oh, my Amerika
Perennial with the earth
And freedom, love and law and life
Perennial with the earth
My freedom, I don't wanna die
[Verse 3]
Swimming in an unmade cloud
Drinking in a formal gown
You tell me that you love to dance
But you don't know how
It doesn't mean that we can't try
Fix me in your twilight eyes
So we can make a moment last
[Verse 4]
What am I gonna do?
I can't survive on my Amerika
If the worst is true
Is it just a waste of time?
What am I tryna find?
Are you alive?
Oh, my Amerika
Perennial with the earth
And freedom, love and law and life
Perennial with the earth
My freedom, I don't wanna die
Perennial with the earth
And freedom, love and law and life
Perennial with the earth
My freedom, I don't wanna
Die
