[Chorus]
Breathe out, breathe in
American oxygen, whoa
Every breath I breathe
Chasin' this American Dream
We sweat for a nickel and a dime
Turn it into an empire, whoa
Breathe in this feeling
American, American oxygen

[Refrain]
American oxygen
Breathe in this feeling
American, American oxygen
American oxygen
Breathe in this feeling
American, American oxygen

[Verse 1]
Outside looking in
Starin' at the great wide open
Young girl, hustlin' on the other side of the ocean
She can be anything at all in America, America
(America, America)
I say, can't see
Just close your eyes and breathe, breathe, breathe

[Chorus]
Breathe out, breathe in
American oxygen, whoa
Every breath I breathe
Chasin' this American Dream
We sweat for a nickel and a dime
Turn it into an empire, whoa
Breathe in this feeling
American, American oxygen

[Refrain]
American oxygen
Breathe in, this feeling
American, American oxygen
American oxygen
Breathe in, this feeling
American, American oxygen

[Verse 2]
Bright lights glistenin'
Looking at the world from a distance
A young boy grindin', tryna get the wheels in motion
But he can be anything at all, America, America
(America, America)
I say, can't see
Just close your eyes and breathe, breathe, breathe

[Chorus]
Breathe out, breathe in
American oxygen, whoa
Every breath I breathe
Chasin' this American Dream
We sweat for a nickel and a dime
Turn it into an empire, whoa
Breathe in this feeling
American, American oxygen

[Bridge]
This is the new America
We are the new America
This is the new America
We are the new America
This is the new America
We are the new America
This is the new America
We are the new America

[Chorus]
Breathe out, breathe in
American oxygen, whoa
Every breath I breathe
Chasin' this American Dream
We sweat for a nickel and a dime
Turn it into an empire, whoa
Breathe in this feeling
American, American oxygen

[Refrain]
American oxygen, whoa
Breathe in, this feeling
American, American oxygen
American oxygen, whoa
Breathe in, this feeling
American, American oxygen

[Outro]
This is the new America
We are the new America
This is the new America
We are the new America
This is the new America
We are the new America..

X Ambassadors are an American rock band from Ithaca, New York. It has three Sam Harris, the lead vocalist; Casey Harris, the keyboardist; and Adam Levin, the drummer. Noah Feldshuh is a former member but left in 2015.

When the band was formed in 2009, they were only called Ambassadors, and it wasn’t until later that they added the X. During these times, they were touring with other artists, including that of LIGHTS. This was also the time when they dropped their first Ambassadors.

In 2012, things started to kick off for X Ambassadors. They dropped their first album, Litost, which featured the eponymous song that would go on to be the soundtrack for the 2013 movie The Host. It was also around the time of the release of Litost that they signed with SONGS Music Publishing. Imagine Dragons noticed them at around this time and asked Interscope to sign them, which they did and are still with.
