[Verse 1]
Her eyes were so warm and inviting
Like steamy diner windows on a cold winter day
The November air was so biting
We could see our breath in my old Chevrolet
I was the taking the longest way home I could find
It was cold but she loved me and I had to stop time
And there's nothing like falling in love in America
[Verse 2]
Well I've never once been to Paris
And I've never been one to like fancy perfume
But I've held hands with Jessica Harris
And walked by the creek with the red blood in bloom
And those writers in cosmo they don't know a thing
France ain't got nothin' on Kentucky in spring
And there's nothing like falling in love in America
[Chorus]
America, give us your lonely and broken
The hopeless still hoping
America, lift up the hearts that are aching
Those yet to be taking
There's nothing like falling in love in America
[Instrumental Solo]
[Verse 3]
A dance at a high school gymnasium
The kids line the walls like they're facing a firing squad
They're waiting for transfiguration
Some kind of sign from a merciful God
And if I thought they'd listen, they haven't so far
I'd show em' how beautiful and bright they all are
And theres nothing like falling in love in America
[Verse 4]
You know it all comes down to perspective
And there's so many beautiful things we can't see
But our vision just needs resurrected
We take so much for granted when so much comes free
And I know it may seem like it's all upside-down
But if we ever needed a love song, it's now
And there's nothing like falling in love in America
[Chorus-Outro]
America, give us your lonely and broken
The hopeless still hoping
America, lift up the hearts that are aching
Those yet to be taking
There's nothing like falling in love
Nothing like falling in love
Nothing like falling in love, in America!
