Living the good life full of goodbyes My eyes are on the grey skies Saying I don't want to come home tonight Yeah, and I'm high up, off what? I don't even remember But my friend passed out in the Uber ride
Oh, I'm from the city of the 9-1-5 Where all the girls are pretty And they're 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
So wake me up in the spring While I'm high off my American dream We don't always say what we mean That's the lie of an American teen
Maybe the end is near But I've been waiting all year To get the hell up out of here And throw away my fears I'm so faded (I'm so faded) Off of all the things that I've taken, and Maybe I'm not really drunk Maybe I'm really good at faking
From the city of the 9-1-5 Where all the girls are pretty And they're 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
So wake me up in the spring While I'm high off my American dream We don't always say what we mean That's the lie of an American teen
My youth is the foundation of me Living life as an American teen (American teen) American teen Mmm, oh yeah We don't always say what we mean When we're high off our American teen My youth is the foundation of me Oh, I'm proud to be American
So wake me up in the spring While I'm high off my American (American dream) And we don't always say what we mean It's the lie of an American teen My youth is the foundation of me Living life as an American teen American teen (American teen)
American Teenager And I'll be living this dream with you
We don't always say what we mean When we're high off our American teen My youth is the foundation of me Oh, I'm proud to be American
