[Verse] When the sun set 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 [Bridge] It was all I knew I was waiting for the big one And I stayed forever [Chorus] Oh oh American secrets Oh Oh Had a dream that was ours That we just didn’t know yet [Verse] We would drive out through every lonely street yeah Smell the truth in hear hair felt the world at 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 [Bridge] It was all I knew I was waiting for the big one And I stayed forever [Chorus] Oh oh American secrets Oh oh Had a dream that was ours That we just didn’t know yet Oh oh American secrets Oh oh had a dream that was ours That was lost in the regrets [Sub-Chorus] We were caught on the inside Left it all on that bedside Give me one more minute with those baby blues We pull up [Refrain] Oh she looks back and waves as I wait too long I can picture her room as the lights turn on I’m still dancing alone with the way it was I’m still dancing alone with the way it was [Sub-Chorus] Give me one more give me one more Give me one more minute with my baby (Oh oh) Give me one more give me one more Give me one more minute with American secrets (Oh oh) Give me one more give me one more [Refrain] 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 Switches Keys to F# - Keep the Capo on [Verse] 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 the stairs Oh I’ve always been running but I don’t know where [Chorus] And oh oh oh And oh oh oh oh It took twenty-five years but I finally see [Verse] Not the boy I was In the car that you saw leave But 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 [Chorus] And oh oh oh And oh oh oh oh It took twenty-five years but I finally see And oh oh oh And oh oh oh oh It took twenty-five years but I finally see It took twenty-five years but I finally see It took twenty-five years but I think I see

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque les souvenirs d'une relation passée, pleine de rêves et d'innocence. Le narrateur se remémore des moments précieux où il était en compagnie d'une jeune fille, parcourant des rues désertes et partageant des rêves insoupçonnés. Malgré le passage du temps et les regrets, il ressent encore l'appel de ces souvenirs, attendant de retrouver ce bonheur perdu. Le contexte se situe autour de la nostalgie et de la réflexion sur un amour d'adolescence. Il traite des promesses et des espoirs qui, bien qu'intangibles, continuent d'influencer son présent. À travers des images de jeunesse et de quête, le narrateur réalise finalement qu'il a toujours cherché une connexion avec cette personne, même après toutes ces années.
