lyrics

In what is referred to as the grand scheme of things, I probably should've been a nice American girl.
I must've been standing with the phone on my chest for two hours thinking that you were listening to my heart love you, and beat.
I save all the voice mail messages that you leave so I can hear you talking to me anytime - and without bothering you.
I saw the western chord. I couldn't say what to do in time.
In what is referred to as the grand scheme of things, I probably should've been a nice American girl.
