Lyrics:


We’re a long way from home

Haven’t seen you in so long

But it all came back in one moment

And the year started cold

But I didn’t notice at all

When we found there’s a room we’re both in

 

We get Chinese food in small white boxes

Live the life we saw in Friends

Your room it barely fits the mattress

Wake up leave for work again

The wind it seems to blow right through us

Down jackets are the trend

The rush of rushing deep into love

 

English girl in an American town

No elevator to the 5th floor I’ll

Ring on the buzzer, then you’ll be right down

I wish time would freeze

Dungarees over the hoodie we’re out

Feet are 3 feet off the ground

Lost in love and we don’t wanna be found

It’s just you and me

My English girl in an American town

 

The days come and go

But it ends when doors close

And a scent of your perfume’s on me

You’re useless with your phone

Electric when one on one

I thought I would be more nervous darling

 

We watch comedies and miss the endings

Conversations til the dawn

Any change in tide we push against it

Challenge meanings in the song

Then head out without a reservation

Drinking out of paper bags

Wasting time is time not wasted, with my

 

English girl in an American town

No elevator to the 5th floor I’ll

Ring on the buzzer, then you’ll be right down

I wish time would freeze

Dungarees over the hoodie we’re out

Feet are 3 feet off the ground

Lost in love and we don’t wanna be found

It’s just you and me

My English girl in an American town

 

And when our eyes are closed together, I can’t explain

How the scent of your perfume takes me to a higher place

We can watch it unfold, or we can change how it tastes

And rebuild when it breaks down

 

We drink Moscow mules and steal the cups from

Mostly the Bowery bar

What a perfect day to fall in love on

What a way to make it start

It appears when you think all is lost then

You don’t remember when

It started never have to pretend, with my

 

English girl in an American town

No elevator to the 5th floor I’ll

Ring on the buzzer, then you’ll be right down

I wish time would freeze

Dungarees over the hoodie we’re out

Feet are 3 feet off the ground

Lost in love and we don’t wanna be found

It’s just you and me

English girl in an American town
