[Verse 1]
(Okay)
Too little to do for too long and
Too little of you for my songs to be anything but lonely
In a couple weeks, you'll own me
Too tired to sleep, good morning
And I'm too wired to heed the warnin'
That there's danger in the summer
The calm before the thunder

[Chorus]
I'm an American cliché
Missin' a girl in a French café
I say, "God damn, you're beautiful"
You blush and duck out of frame
I'm an American cliché
Missin' a girl in a French café
I say, "How'd I get along so long without you"
And you say, "Same"

[Verse 2]
Graveyard, Jim Morrison forever
In my arms, they'll have to bury us together
'Cause I'm never gonna let you go
Uh-oh, uh-oh
Missed my flight, makin' love in the morning
While everybody else was boarding
They love to say they told you so
I know, I know, I know

[Chorus]
I'm an American cliché
Missin' a girl in a French café
I say, "God damn, you're beautiful"
You blush and duck out of frame
I'm an American cliché
Missin' a girl in a French café
I say, "How'd I get along, so long without you"
And you say, "Same"

[Bridge]
Come on over now, you're one layover down?
No one we know around
Don't want the city without you
I want you
We'll go all over town
No one that we know around
Can't say I'm sober now
Do something I'm not allowed to
I want you

[Chorus]
I'm an American cliché
Missin' a girl in a French café
I say, "God damn, you're beautiful"
You blush and duck out of frame
I'm an American cliché
Missin' a girl in a French café
I say, "How'd I get along so long without you"
And you say, "Same"
