American Secrets Lyrics - The Way It Was - Parachute Band

Verse 1: 

When the sun fell low in the blood red sky yeah 

Every house called out as we passed them by yeah 

She would grab my hand as the trees leaned in yeah 

Oh I'm still racing home from the place I've been 

Chorus: 

It was all I knew, I was waiting for the big one 

And I stay forever (oooooh oh oooh oh ohhhh) 

American secrets (oooooh oh oooh oh ohhhh) 

Had a dream it was ours and we just didn't know yet 

Verse 2: 

We would drive by right through every lonely street yeah 

Smell the truth in her hair felt the world in my feet yeah 

But we were just two kids in a beat up car 

Oh I'm still driving home from the things I've done 

Chorus: 

It was all I knew, I was waiting for the big one 

And I stay forever (oooooh oh oooh oh ohhhh) 

American secrets (oooooh oh oooh oh ohhhh) 

Had a dream it was ours that we just didn't know yet (oooooh oh oooh oh ohhhh) 

American secrets (oooooh oh oooh oh ohhhh) 

Had a dream it was ours that was lost in the regrets 

Bridge: 

We were caught on the inside 

Left it all on that bedside 

Give me one more minute with those baby blues 

We pull up 

Oh she looks back and waves as I wait too long 

I can picture her room as the lights go on 

I'm still dancing alone with the way it was 

I'm still dancing alone with the way it was 

Give me one more, give me one more 

Give me one more minute with my baby 

Give me one more, give me one more 

Give me one more minute with American secrets 

Give me one more, give me one more 

Oh she looks back and waves as she slips inside 

Every hope in the world in those bright blue eyes 

I'm still dancing alone with the way it was 

Got my mind made up 

And I'm coming back for you 

I can hear your voice calling and I'll be there soon 

I can see you there in the bedroom by those stairs 

Oh I've always been running but I don't know where 

And ohhh oh oooh and ohhh oh oooh 

It took 25 years but I finally see 

Not the boy I was in the car that you saw leave 

I'm still not the man that I thought I'd be 

But when those trumpets sound when the good Lord calls my name 

Oh I'm gonna be with you 

Oh I'm gonna be with you 

And ohhh oh oooh 

And ohhh oh oooh 

It took 25 years but I finally see 

And ohhh oh oooh 

And ohhh oh oooh 

It took 25 years but I finally see 

It took 25 years but I finally see 

It took 25 years but I think I see
