lyrics

I wish I lived across the pond
I bet you'd hear it in my songs
But all I've got is this Americana melody
hoping it's fooling you like you're fooling me

It could be just the two of us
hand in hand in Picadilly circus
We'd walk by the palace green
and scream, "God Save the Queen!"

And I know that it must seem
like a bloody stupid fucking dream
but please shut your eyes tight
and overlook the oversights i make
like having a British accent that's fake

We could go out to the pubs
have a pint or two
catch midnight jazz at a club
if you wanted to
or stay home and leave the tele on
and you could fall asleep on my arm

now the summer is making me wonder why
seconds pass slowly while a year can fly by
and i guess it's all my fault for not really trying
to catch you when i had the time yeah

and i know that it must seem
like a bloody stupid fucking dream
but please shut your eyes tight
and overlook the oversights i make
like having a british accent that's fake
