America by Emma Heeney Lyrics

You took a trip to America
I wanted to see how that felt
To take all you said and to top it three times
To take all you did, make it mine

But the ocean beneath didn't make it better
The small packaged food and the bumpy ride
But I left it behind and I made a new friend
Found something to like, something to like

Yeah I found a place where the population
Seemed to rely on real life
More than a screen, more than quotes from TV
Five years forgot in that time

Then I thought of the years when we lived together
And I tried to remember how that felt
But I've left it behind and now I feel better
Found someone to like, someone to like
