[Verse 1]
~#**************#~
Living the good life full of goodbyes
~#**************#~
My eyes are on the grey skies
~#**************#~
Saying I dont want to come home tonight
~#**************#~
Yeah, and Im high up, off what?
~#**************#~
I dont even remember
~#**************#~
But my friend passed out in the Uber ride
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
Oh, Im from the city of the 9-1-5
~#**************#~
Where all the girls are pretty
~#**************#~
And theyre down for the hype
~#**************#~
All my boys are with me
~#**************#~
Going up for the night
~#**************#~
But who cares, who cares
~#**************#~
‘Cause this is our year
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
So wake me up in the spring
~#**************#~
While Im high off my American dream
~#**************#~
We dont always say what we mean
~#**************#~
Thats the lie of an American teen
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
Maybe the end is near
~#**************#~
But Ive been waiting all year
~#**************#~
To get the hell up out of here
~#**************#~
And throw away my fears
~#**************#~
Im so faded (Im so faded)
~#**************#~
Off of all the things that Ive taken, and
~#**************#~
Maybe Im not really drunk
~#**************#~
Maybe Im really good at faking
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
From the city of the 9-1-5
~#**************#~
Where all the girls are pretty
~#**************#~
And theyre down for the hype
~#**************#~
All my boys are with me
~#**************#~
Going up for the night
~#**************#~
But who cares, who cares
~#**************#~
‘Cause this is our year
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
So wake me up in the spring
~#**************#~
While Im high off my American dream
~#**************#~
We dont always say what we mean
~#**************#~
Thats the lie of an American teen
~#**************#~
[Bridge]
~#**************#~
My youth is the foundation of me
~#**************#~
Living life as an American teen (American teen)
~#**************#~
American teen
~#**************#~
Mmm, oh yeah
~#**************#~
We dont always say what we mean
~#**************#~
When were high off our American teen
~#**************#~
My youth is the foundation of me
~#**************#~
Oh, Im proud to be American
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
So wake me up in the spring
~#**************#~
While Im high off my American (American dream)
~#**************#~
And we dont always say what we mean
~#**************#~
Its the lie of an American teen
~#**************#~
My youth is the foundation of me
~#**************#~
Living life as an American teen
~#**************#~
American teen (American teen)
~#**************#~
[Outro]
~#**************#~
American Teenager
~#**************#~
And Ill be living this dream with you
~#**************#~
[Chant]
~#**************#~
We dont always say what we mean
~#**************#~
When were high off our American teen
~#**************#~
My youth is the foundation of me
~#**************#~
Oh, Im proud to be American
