Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I remember we were only sixteen at the time
We stole your daddy's car the day you learned to drive
You nearly killed us both a half mile down the road
Yeah, we were upside down and moving in slow motion
[PreChorus]
We're just floating
So wild and free
And it all made sense to me
[Chorus]
If I'm gonna die a young American
And this was the final night we'd ever have again
I'd be just fine as long as I'm wherevеr you are
'Cause you stole my young, Amеrican heart
[Verse 2]
Well, it's been a long two years since you have left the country
And now, you and I, we're living in some crazy times
And I get so scared we'll never make it through our twenties
And we'll lose it all for nothing, nothing
[Chorus]
If I'm gonna die a young American
And this was the final night we'd ever have again
I'd be just fine as long as I'm wherever you are
'Cause you stole my young, American heart
[Bridge]
My young, American heart, my young, American heart
You stole my, you stole my American heart (We were)
My young, American heart, my young, American heart (Free-falling)
You stole my, you stole my American heart (We were)
My young, American heart, my young, American heart (Free)
You stole my, you stole my American heart
[Chorus]
If I'm gonna die a young American
And this was the final night we'd ever have again
I'd be just fine as long as I'm wherever you are
'Cause you stole my young, American heart
[Outro]
My young, American heart
My young, American heart
My young, American-
You stole my young, American heart
