American Boy Lyrics by Halle Ponton

Is This What Real Life Is?

2023

[Verse 1]
His American eyes I can’t stop staring in and you make me feel like I can’t breathe
(He can’t stop looking at me)
We’re in Seattle, we walked around forever, you said that you really want me
(Oh my American dream)
He’s got the music that makes me want to lose it, he told me he wrote a song about me
And when he sang it, he counted in like 1, 2, 3
[Chorus]
We talk for endless hours ‘bout the house wе’ll own in Dallas
And you tell me I’m the girl of your drеams. (Oh I’m the girl of your dreams)
We paint pictures of our futures, you tell me we’ll never lose this
When I’m gone you won’t forget about me. (You won’t forget about me)
He is my American Boy
I don’t want to leave him, I don’t want to go home
He is my American Boy, I just want to see him, how could I leave this?
[Verse 2]
I’m in an airport and I regret every decision
(You should have begged me to stay)
Miss hotel couches and the wine we had for breakfast and your car that took us all around
Now it’s October, and I left you in June
No it’s getting colder, I hope I see you soon
I hope you don’t find someone, find someone new
‘Cause I want to be, I want to be with you
[Chorus]
We talk for endless hours ‘bout the house we’ll own in Dallas
And you tell me I’m the girl of your dreams. (Oh I’m the girl of your dreams)
We paint pictures of our futures, you tell me we’ll never lose this
When I’m gone you won’t forget about me. (You won’t forget about me)
He is my American Boy
I don’t want to leave him, I don’t want to go home
He is my American Boy, I just want to see him, how could I leave this?
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
His American eyes I can’t stop staring in and you make me feel like I can’t breathe
He is my American Boy
I don’t want to leave him, I don’t want to go home
He is my American Boy, I just want to see him, how could I leave this?
[Final Chorus]
We talk for endless hours ‘bout the house we’ll own in Dallas
And you tell me I’m the girl of your dreams. (Oh I’m the girl of your dreams)
We paint pictures of our futures, you tell me we’ll never lose this
When I’m gone you won’t forget about me. (You won’t forget about me)
He is my American Boy
I don’t want to leave him, I don’t want to go home
