Lyrics
See you stand in a corner
Observing the person standing in a corner
Eyes on the floor
Noticing that the person's eyes are downcast
Mine are glued to you, darling
Expressing a strong attraction to the person
We aren't having fun
Acknowledging that the current situation is not enjoyable
Take my hand
Inviting the person to hold hands and escape
Let's run away
Suggesting a desire to run away together
Dance on the sand
Imagining dancing on the sand
Stay awake
Encouraging staying awake to enjoy the moment
Watch the stars til sunrise
Proposing to watch the stars until sunrise
Show me around Colorado
Asking to be shown around Colorado
Baby take me to Miami
Expressing a desire to be taken to Miami
Golden beach waves tangling my neck
Describing the experience of golden beach waves entwining the neck
And I can't get enough of it
Expressing a strong attraction and desire for more
Following no matter where you go
Expressing a commitment to follow the person anywhere
I don't care where as long as you keep me close
Emphasizing that the destination doesn't matter as long as they stay close
I can't take more guess I gotta let you know
Conveying the need to communicate feelings honestly
Won't you be my American girl
Asking the person to be their American girl
So we're running from the crowded
Running away from crowded cities and lights
Cities and lights
Emphasizing a lack of plans, focusing on music and words
No plan, nothing but music
Describing the simplicity of their journey
And words to go by
Inviting the person to make the moment last
Take my hand
Reiterating the invitation to hold hands
Let's make it last
Expressing the fragility of their hearts
Hearts of glass
Highlighting the exclusivity of their connection
Only are
Stating that they are meant for each other
Meant for each other
Repeating the desire to be shown around Colorado
Show me around Colorado
Reiterating the desire to be taken to Miami
Baby take me to Miami
Repeating the description of golden beach waves
Golden beach waves tangling my neck
Expressing an insatiable desire for the experience
And I can't get enough of it
Committing to follow the person regardless of the destination
Following no matter where you go
Reiterating that the destination doesn't matter as long as they stay close
I don't care where as long as you keep me close
Expressing the urgency to communicate honest feelings
I can't take more guess I gotta let you know
Repeating the plea for the person to be their American girl
Won't you be my American girl
Final plea for the person to be their American girl
