jr_lavoie I have always loved songs that use the tremolo guitar effect. This alternative pop/ alternative rock piece is well written and grows on you. Nothing is over the top, yet this song emotes well.

about

American Girl is a song about going elsewhere and falling in love for the first time. Blare this baby and dance around your apartment, dreaming of your first love.

lyrics

Well then pick me up, pick me up,
are you putting down what I'm putting up?
are you feeling me?
am I real enough?
Is it something new?
are you acting tough?
you can find me, at the beach,
I'll be in the shade looking for a piece,
if you see me there, then just let me know,
from behind your shades, getting ever close,
so I'll take you out, and you'll talk to me,
and you're talking back, and you think I'm sweet
but I know you'll let this go eventually
but baby you've always been the centerpiece,
so baby girl, won't you look at me,
your canvas eyes,
you're evergreen,
you're more beautiful then I'll ever be,
I'm lying to myself about everything

You can find me
find me at the beach,
I'll be digging
throught the sand and hollow dreams

Well I'm hypnotized, how you move your hips
your tired eyes
your sun kissed skin
and you're moving me
while I move my lips
is this what you want?
Are we moving quick
and you're pushing me, and I'm pushing back
electricity
or a heart attack
and I'm losing it
what I never had
is it in my head or behind my back?
sand in my head
or in my shoes
while I'm looking out, while I'm looking through
while you look at me
while I look at you
think it's time to go,
or it's time to lose

So don't you pull my down
While I'm busy building up
You know you're just around to tell me how I'm not enough

So I'm building up
to a better phase,
tryna pick my brain,
I'm a mental case,
tryna find myself
in a better place
but you brought a gun,
and I brought a blade
