America Lyrics
And I hope that you find it, all that you need
I hope that you stay young and wild and free
You'll have America
And I hope that you're better than all of your friends
I hope that they hold you until the end
You can have America
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
[Chorus 1]
But all of our time chasing America
Though she never had a home for me
All of our time chasing a dream
Hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm
A dream that meant nothing to me
[Verse 2]
And see where I found you, where they all lay
All of the greats, they are here to stay
Here in America
And I hope that you find it, all that you arе
I hope that it sets you apart, oh-oh, oh-oh
In the hеart of America
Hmm, hmm
[Chorus 2]
But all of our time chasing America
But she never had a home for me
Hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm
All of our time chasing a dream
Hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm
A dream that meant nothing to me
And all the parties, they fade
And yes, my looks, they'll go away
I'll just be left here in America
But she never had a home for me

Find answers to frequently asked questions about the song and explore its deeper meaning
To be honest, I don’t really know where it came from. It was one of the first ones that I wrote. I wrote it at my piano, and I was very emotional. It just came out, all the lyrics just came out. Now that I’m being asked about that song again, I’m like, ‘What was that song about?’ I guess it is about loads of different things. It means a lot to me. [The cricket noises at the start are] so emotive, because everyone has experienced that, when you’re outside in a beautiful place and there are crickets singing to you.
This song is about my journey letting go of the past and learning how to write music after a difficult time with my health. I use the idea of the American dream to wave goodbye to things I didn’t need anymore 💗🌸💗
