Sweet America

[Verse 1]
The perfect house is all alone
The grape of wine in slanted groves
The haunt of laughter in the air
Roses on beams, tranquil and warm
Deep in the liquid blue the ocean fills my soul
Purring like a cat on a swing

[Chorus]
Sweet America, where did you go to?
Just as the day grows dark
I hear the music, playing in shadows
When did you lose your heart?

[Verse 2]
His rounded head and Asian eyes
Burnt by a sorrow he can't hide
Time is slowing down, will this ever end?
And there it waits, closed to the world
Cracking the soil, making my fate
There's still a part of me I left there

[Chorus]
Sweet America, where did you go to?
Just as the day grows dark
I hear the music, playing in shadows
When did you lose your heart?

[Bridge]
Cause when I feared it most
That's when I had to jump
That's when I knew that life
Only happens once

[Outro]
Sweet my love
Sweet my love
Sweet my love
Sweet my love
