Forget it all
The endless noise of modern life
It's not what I want
It pulls me in like a bad trip
And if I'm honest
I didn't know I was keeping us
From deeper love
It's not something they warn you of
I was just too scared
To let myself fall in love again
But I didn't know it then
'Cause my heart was born in the lonely
American dark, a forest so endless
And my soul was covered right up with
American gold
Oh but I didn't know
I didn't know
When you arrive
Gonna throw my arms around you
I might just cry
Something's changed in me I swear
I'm ready now
For whatever comes
I don't need to know
We can work it out
I promise to be strong when we get there
I was just too scared
To let myself fall in love again
But I didn't know it then
'Cause my heart was born in the lonely
American dark, a forest so endless
And my soul was covered right up with
American gold
Oh but I didn't know
I didn't know
