We're a long way from home
Haven't seen you in so long
But it all came back in one moment
And the year started cold
But I didn't notice at all
When we found there's a room we're both in

We ate Chinese food in small, white boxes
Live the life we saw in Friends
Your room, it barely fits the mattress
Wake up, leave for work again
And head out without a reservation
Drinking out of paper bags
And wasting time is time not wasted

My English girl in an American town
No elevator to the fifth floor
I'll ring on the buzzer, then you'll be right down
I wish time would freeze
Dungarees over the hoodie, we're out
Feet are three feet off the ground
Lost in love, and we don't wanna be found
It's just you and me
My English girl in an American town, na-na-na, na-na
In an American town, na-na-na, na-na

And the days come and go
(?) window's closed
And the scent of the perfume on me
Put your (?) with your phone
Electric when one on one
I thought I would be more nervous, darling

We watch comedies then miss the ending
Conversations 'til the dawn
And, your changing tide, we push against it
Challenge meanings in the songs
Then head out without a reservation
Drinking out of paper bags
And wasting time is time not wasted

My English girl in an American town
No elevator to the fifth floor
I'll ring on the buzzer, then you'll be right down
I wish time would freeze
Dungarees over the hoodie, we're out
Feet are three feet off the ground
Lost in love, and we don't wanna be found
It's just you and me
My English girl in an American town

And, when our eyes are close together
I can't explain
How the scent of your perfume takes me to a higher place
We can watch it unfold or we can change how it takes
And we build when it breaks down

We drink Moscow mules and steal the cups from
Mostly the Bowery bar
What a perfect day to fall in love on
What a way to make a start
It appears when you think all is lost
Then, you don't remember when it started
Never have to pretend with

My English girl in an American town
No elevator to the fifth floor
I'll ring on the buzzer, then you'll be right down
I wish time would freeze
Dungarees over the hoodie, we're out
Feet are three feet off the ground
Lost in love, and we don't wanna be found
It's just you and me

My English girl in an American town
No elevator to the fifth floor
I'll ring on the buzzer, then you'll be right down
I wish time would freeze
Dungarees over the hoodie, we're out
Feet are three feet off the ground
Lost in love, and we don't wanna be found
It's just you and me
My English girl in an American town
