Take the lead, never get behind me
I'll follow you wherever you wanna go
These tables turn but they tend to turn so slow
Never stop, I'm riding your wake
Lose your way and I'll spin you back around
What doesn't get you high will only get you down
3 months stateside, then 4 more months abroad
I'll be skating on thin ice that should have thawed
I wanna be your American boyfriend
I wanna go where the summer doesn't end
I wanna be your American boyfriend
I wanna be your only
I wanna be your American boyfriend
I wanna go where the summer doesn't end
I wanna be your American boyfriend
I wanna be your only friend
Your only friend
Take me back to American weekends
And landlocked lovers on the beach
These people pray, they don't practice a word they preach
We'll rendezvous across the Atlantic
But I'm frantic flying mile high
What doesn't kill you makes you afraid to die
3 months stateside, then 4 more months as planned
I'll be waiting in the terminal when you land
I wanna be your American boyfriend
I wanna go where the summer doesn't end
I wanna be your American boyfriend
I wanna be your only
I wanna be your American boyfriend
I wanna go where the summer doesn't end
I wanna be your American boyfriend
I wanna be your only friend
Your only friend
I wanna be your American boyfriend
But I'll never be your American boyfriend
I wanna be your American boyfriend
I wanna go where the summer doesn't end
I wanna be your American boyfriend
I wanna be your only
I wanna be your American boyfriend
I wanna go where the summer doesn't end
I wanna be your American boyfriend
I wanna be your only friend
Your only friend
