Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince Cruel Summer

You know I adore you, I'm crazier for you [Verse 1]


Than I was at 16, lost in a film scene Fever dream high in the quiet of the night
Waving homecoming queens, marching band playing You know that I caught it (Oh yeah, you're right, I want it)
I'm lost in the lights Bad, bad boy, shiny toy with a price
American glory faded before me You know that I bought it (Oh yeah, you're right, I want it)
Now I'm feeling hopeless, ripped up my prom dress
Running through rose thorns, I saw the scoreboard [Pre-Chorus]
And ran for my life (Ah) Killing me slow, out the window
I'm always waiting for you to be waiting below
[Pre-Chorus] Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes
No cameras catch my pageant smile What doesn't kill me makes me want you more
I counted days, I counted miles
To see you there, to see you there [Chorus]
It's been a long time coming, but And it's new, the shape of your body
It's blue, the feeling I've got
[Chorus] And it's ooh, whoa-oh
It's you and me, that's my whole world It's a cruel summer
They whisper in the hallway, "She's a bad, bad girl" It's cool, that's what I tell 'em
(Okay) No rules in breakable heaven
The whole school is rolling fake dice But ooh, whoa-oh
You play stupid games, you win stupid prizes It's a cruel summer with you
It's you and me, there's nothing like this
Miss Americana and The Heartbreak Prince (Okay) [Verse 2]
We're so sad, we paint the town blue Hang your head low in the glow of the vending machine
Voted most likely to run away with you I'm not dying (Oh yeah, you're right, I want it)
We say that we'll just screw it up in these trying times
[Verse 2] We're not trying (Oh yeah, you're right, I want it)
My team is losing, battered and bruising
I see the high fives between the bad guys [Pre-Chorus]
Leave with my head hung, you are the only one So cut the headlights, summer's a knife
Who seems to care I'm always waiting for you just to cut to the bone
American stories burning before me Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes
I'm feeling helpless, the damsels are depressed And if I bleed, you'll be the last to know, oh
Boys will be boys then, where are the wise men?
Darling, I'm scared (Ah) [Bridge]
I'm drunk in the back of the car
[Pre-Chorus 2] And I cried like a baby comin' home from the bar (Oh)
No cameras catch my muffled cries Said, "I'm fine," but it wasn't true
I counted days, I counted miles I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you
To see you there, to see you there And I snuck in through the garden gate
And now the storm is coming, but…. Every night that summer just to seal my fate (Oh)
And I scream, "For whatever it's worth
And I don't want you to (Go), I don't really wanna (Fight) I love you, ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?"
'Cause nobody's gonna (Win), I think you should come He looks up, grinnin' like a devil
home
And I'll never let you (Go) 'cause I know this is a (Fight)
That someday we're gonna (Win)
The Man You Need To Calm Down
[Verse 1] [Verse 1]
I would be complex, I would be cool
You are somebody that I don't know
They'd say I played the field before I found someone to
commit to But you're takin' shots at me like it's Patron
And that would be okay for me to do And I'm just like, damn, it's 7 AM
Every conquest I had made would make me more of a Say it in the street, that's a knock-out
boss to you But you say it in a Tweet, that's a cop-out
And I'm just like, "Hey, are you okay?"
[Pre-Chorus]
I’d be a fearless leader, I'd be an alpha type
When everyone believes ya, what's that like? [Pre-Chorus]
And I ain't tryna mess with your self-expression
[Chorus] But I've learned a lesson that stressing' and obsessing'
I’m so sick of running as fast as I can 'bout somebody else is no fun
Wondering' if I'd get there quicker if I was a man And snakes and stones never broke my bones
And I'm so sick of them coming' at me again
Cause if I was a man, then I'd be the man
I'd be the man (Man) [Chorus]
I’d be the man (Man) So oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
You need to calm down, you're being too loud
[Verse 2] And I'm just like oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (Oh)
They’d say I hustled, put in the work You need to just stop, like can you just not step on my
They wouldn't shake their heads and question how much
gown?
of this I deserve
What I was wearing if I was rude You need to calm down
Could all be separated from my good ideas and power
moves [Verse 2]
You are somebody that we don't know
[Pre-Chorus] But you're coming' at my friends like a missile
And they would toast to me, oh (Ayy), let the players play
Why are you mad when you could be GLAAD? (You
I’d be just like Leo in Saint-Tropez
could be GLAAD)
[Bridge] Sunshine on the street at the parade
What's it like to brag about raking in dollars But you would rather be in the dark ages
And getting bitches and models? Makin' that sign must've taken all night
And it's all good if you're bad
And it's okay if you're mad
[Pre-Chorus]
If I was out flashin' my dollars
I'd be a bitch, not a baller You just need to take several seats and then try to
They'd paint me out to be bad restore the peace
So it's okay that I'm mad And control your urges to scream about all the people
you hate
cause shade never made anybody less gay

[Bridge]
And we see you over there on the internet
Comparing all the girls who are killing it
But we figured you out
We all know now we all got crowns
You need to calm down
Lover The Archer

[Verse 1] [Verse 1]
We could leave the Christmas lights up 'til January Combat, I'm ready for combat.
And this is our place, we make the rules I say I don't want that, but what if I do?
And there's a dazzling haze, a mysterious way about cause cruelty wins in the movies.
you, dear I've got a hundred thrown-out speeches I almost said to
Have I known you twenty seconds or twenty years? you.
Easy they come, easy they go
[Chorus] I jump from the train, I ride off alone
Can I go where you go? I never grew up, it's getting so old
Can we always be this close? Help me hold on to you
Forever and ever, ah
Take me out and take me home [Chorus]
You're my, my, my, my lover I've been the archer, I've been the prey
Who could ever leave me, darling
[Verse 2] But who could stay?
We could let our friends crash in the living room
This is our place, we make the call [Verse 2]
And I'm highly suspicious that everyone who sees you Dark side, I search for your dark side
wants you But what if I'm alright, right, right, right here?
I've loved you three summers now, honey, And I cut off my nose just to spite my face
but I want 'em all Then I hate my reflection for years and years

[Verse ] [Pre-Chorus]
Ladies and gentlemen, will you please stand? I wake in the night, I pace like a ghost
With every guitar string scar on my hand The room is on fire, invisible smoke
I take this magnetic force of a man to be my lover And all of my heroes die all alone
My heart's been borrowed and yours has been blue Help me hold on to you
All's well that ends well to end up with you
Swear to be overdramatic and true to my lover [Chorus]
And you'll save all your dirtiest jokes for me I've been the archer, I've been the prey
And at every table, I'll save you a seat, lover Screaming, who could ever leave me, darling
But who could stay?
(I see right through me, I see right through me)

[Bridge]
cause they see right through me
They see right through me
They see right through
Can you see right through me?
They see right through
They see right through me
I see right through me
I see right through me

[Pre-Chorus]
All the king's horses, all the king's men
Couldn't put me together again
cause all of my enemies started out friends
Help me hold on to you,

who could stay?...


Fearless You Belong With Me

[Verse 1] [Verse 1]
There's something 'bout the way You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset
The street looks when it's just rained She's going off about something that you said
There's a glow off the pavement, you walk me to the car cause she doesn't get your humor like I do
And you know I wanna ask you to dance right there I'm in my room, it's a typical Tuesday night
In the middle of the parking lot, yeah I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like
Oh, yeah And she'll never know your story like I do

[Verse 2] [Pre-Chorus]
We're driving down the road, I wonder if you know cause she wears short skirts, I wear T-shirts
I'm trying so hard not to get caught up now She's Cheer Captain and I'm on the bleachers
But you're just so cool, run your hands through your hair Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find
Absent-mindedly making me want you That what you're looking for has been here the whole
time
[Chorus]
And I don't know how it gets better than this [Chorus]
You take my hand and drag me head first, fearless If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
And I don't know why but with you I'd dance Been here all along, so why can't you see?
In a storm in my best dress, fеarless You belong with me, you belong with me

[Verse 3] [Verse 2]
So, baby, drive slow 'til we run out of road in this onе- Walking the streets with you and your worn-out jeans
horse town I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be
I wanna stay right here, in this passenger's seat Laughing on a park bench, thinking to myself
You put your eyes on me Hey, isn't this easy?
In this moment now, capture it, remember it And you've got a smile that could light up this whole
town
[Chorus] I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down
cause I don't know how it gets better than this You say you're fine, I know you better than that
You take my hand and drag me head first, fearless Hey, whatcha doing with a girl like that?
And I don't know why but with you I'd dance
In a storm in my best dress, fearless [Pre-Chorus]
Oh, oh She wears high heels, I wear sneakers….

[Bridge] [Chorus]
Well, you stood there with me in the doorway Standing by and waiting at your back door
My hands shake, I'm not usually this way but All this time how could you not know, baby?
You pull me in and I'm a little more brave You belong with me, you belong with me
It's the first kiss, it's flawless, really something
It's fearless [Bridge]
Oh, yeah Oh, I remember you driving to my house
In the middle of the night
I'm the one who makes you laugh
When you know you're 'bout to cry
I know your favorite songs
And you tell me 'bout your dreams
Think I know where you belong
Think I know it's with me….

[Outro]
You belong with me
Have you ever thought just maybe
You belong with me?
You belong with me
