Run!) Or a carefully worded document I know I'm not the only one Who begs for it We scream for it Oh, we claim America as bliss But beneath the skin we're in love with the quick fix Oh, the world is too much to digest Naive like a child, we're in love by the first kiss If (if) if (if) everyone loved (loved) loved (loved) just a little more If (if) if (if) everyone loved (loved) loved (loved) just a little more We beg for it We scream for it A love to manifest and spread to the rest Oh, we claim America as bliss But beneath the skin we're in love with the quick fix Oh, the world is too much to digest Naive like a child, we're in love by the first kiss Turn on Tune in Turn off Drop out
