  • You know I adore you, I'm crazier for you
    Than I was at 16, lost in a film scene
    Waving homecoming queens, marching band playing
    I'm lost in the lights
    American glory faded before me
    Now I'm feeling hopeless, ripped up my prom dress
    Running through rose thorns, I saw the scoreboard
    And ran for my life (ah)

    No cameras catch my pageant smile
    I counted days, I counted miles
    To see you there, to see you there
    It's been a long time coming, but

    It's you and me, that's my whole world
    They whisper in the hallway, "She's a bad, bad girl" (okay)
    The whole school is rolling fake dice
    You play stupid games, you win stupid prizes
    It's you and me, there's nothing like this
    Miss Americana and The Heartbreak Prince (okay)
    We're so sad, we paint the town blue
    Voted most likely to run away with you

    My team is losing, battered and bruising
    I see the high fives between the bad guys
    Leave with my head hung, you are the only one
    Who seems to care
    American stories burning before me
    I'm feeling helpless, the damsels are depressed
    Boys will be boys then, where are the wise men?
    Darling, I'm scared (ah)

    No cameras catch my muffled cries
    I counted days, I counted miles
    To see you there, to see you there
    And now the storm is coming, but

    It's you and me, that's my whole world
    They whisper in the hallway, "She's a bad, bad girl" (okay)
    The whole school is rolling fake dice
    You play stupid games, you win stupid prizes
    It's you and me, there's nothing like this
    Miss Americana and The Heartbreak Prince (okay)
    We're so sad, we paint the town blue
    Voted most likely to run away with you

    And I don't want you to (go), I don't really wanna (fight)
    'Cause nobody's gonna (win), I think you should come home
    And I don't want you to (go), I don't really wanna (fight)
    'Cause nobody's gonna (win), I think you should come home
    And I don't want you to (go), I don't really wanna (fight)
    'Cause nobody's gonna (win), just thought you should know
    And I'll never let you (go) 'cause I know this is a (fight)
    That someday we're gonna (win)

    It's you and me, that's my whole world
    They whisper in the hallway, "She's a bad, bad girl"
    Oh, I just thought you should know (you should know)
    It's you and me, there's nothing like this (like this)
    Miss Americana and The Heartbreak Prince (okay)
    We're so sad, we paint the town blue (paint it blue)
    Voted most likely to run away with you

    And I don't want you to (go), I don't really wanna (fight)
    'Cause nobody's gonna (win), I think you should come home
    And I'll never let you (go) 'cause I know this is a (fight)
    That someday we're gonna (win), just thought you should know

    It's you and me, that's my whole world
    They whisper in the hallway, "She's a bad, bad girl"
