Great American Novel Lyrics by Elizabeth Gerardi

2024

[Verse 1]
Once was written in a cryptic code
But you cracked it
Once was written in a dead language
So you learned Latin
Kept my guard up, kept my pages shut
'Till you came around, and I opened up
[Chorus]
You read me like a book and said I was
A Great American novel
You know all my darkest chapters
And still keep me on the top shelf
You touch me like a first edition
In pristine condition
Even though it's far from true
I wasn't a masterpiece
'Till I was held by you
[Verse 2]
Once was cobweb covered
Just waiting
For someonе to fall in love with all my dusty pages
Kept my guard up, kеpt my pages shut
'Till you came around, and I opened up
[Chorus]
You read me like a book and said I was
A Great American novel
You know all my darkest chapters
And still keep me on the top shelf
You touch me like a first edition
In pristine condition
Even though it's far from true
I wasn't a masterpiece
'Till I was held by you
[Bridge]
Front to back, you've memorised me
And say I'm a classic
No one else is lucky enough to read
[Chorus x2]
You read me like a book and said I was
A Great American novel
You know all my darkest chapters
And still keep me on the top shelf
You touch me like a first edition
In pristine condition
Even though it's far from true
I wasn't a masterpiece
'Till I was held by you
You read me like a book and said I was
A Great American novel
You know all my darkest chapters
And still keep me on the top shelf
You touch me like a first edition
In pristine condition
Even though it's far from true
I wasn't a masterpiece
'Till I was held by you
