American Town
Ed Sheeran Lyrics

We're a long way from home
We are far away from our usual place of residence.

Haven't seen you in so long
It has been a considerable amount of time since I last saw you.

But it all came back in one moment
However, all the memories and emotions returned in an instant.

And the year started cold
The year began with a cold and distant feeling.

But I didn't notice at all
Surprisingly, I didn't pay any attention to it.

And when we found there's a room we're both in
And then we discovered a place where we could be together.

We get Chinese food in small white boxes
We often eat Chinese food that comes in small white takeout containers.

Live the life we saw in Friends
We try to emulate the lifestyle we saw on the TV show 'Friends'.

Your room, it barely fits the mattress
Your room is so small that the mattress barely fits in.

Wake up, leave for work again
We wake up and immediately leave for work once more.

The wind, it seems to blow right through us
The wind feels as if it passes through us without any resistance.

Down jackets are the trend
Wearing down jackets is currently fashionable.

The rush, we're rushing deep into love
We are quickly and deeply falling in love.

English girl in an American town
A girl from England who finds herself in an American town.

No elevator to the fifth floor, I'll
There is no elevator to reach the fifth floor, so I will.

Ring on the buzzer then you'll be right down
I will ring the buzzer, and you will come down immediately.

I wish time would freeze
I desire for time to stop and remain still.

Dungarees over the hoodie, we're out
We put dungarees over our hoodies and go outside.

Feet are three feet off the ground
We feel incredibly happy and light-hearted.

Lost in love and we don't wanna be found
We are deeply immersed in love and have no desire to be discovered or interrupted.

It's just you and me
There is no one else, only the two of us.

Days come and go
The passing of days is constant and continuous.

But it ends, windows closed
However, it eventually comes to an end, and the windows are shut.

And the scent of your perfume's on me
I still carry the fragrance of your perfume with me.

You're useless with your phone
You are not skilled or efficient with your phone.

Electric when one-on-one
There is an intense and exciting energy between us when we are alone together.

I thought I would be more nervous, darlin'
To my surprise, I didn't feel as anxious as I expected, my dear.

We watch comedies and miss the endings
We often watch comedic movies or TV shows but fail to see the conclusion.

Conversations till the dawn
We engage in conversations that last until the early hours of the morning.

And your changin' tide, we push against it
We resist and confront the changes and challenges you experience.

Challenge meanings in the songs
We question and challenge the interpretations and messages conveyed in songs.

And head out without a reservation
We go out without making any prior arrangements or reservations.

Drinkin' out of paper bags
We drink beverages from paper bags, possibly hiding the contents.

And wasting time is time not wasted
We believe that even when we are not being productive, we are still making the most of our time.

And when our eyes are closed together, I can't explain
When we close our eyes in unison, there's an indescribable feeling.

How the scent of your perfume takes me to a higher place
The fragrance of your perfume evokes a sense of elevation and transcendence within me.

We can watch it unfold or we can change how it takes
We have the power to either passively observe the events or actively influence their outcome.

And we build when it breaks down
We work on strengthening our relationship when it faces challenges or falls apart.

We drink Moscow Mules and steal the cups
We enjoy drinking Moscow Mules and occasionally take the cups as souvenirs.

From, mostly, the Bowery Bar
We primarily take the cups from the Bowery Bar.

What a perfect day to fall in love on
It is an ideal day for falling in love.

What a way to make a start
It is a remarkable way to begin something.

It appears when you think all is lost, then
In times when you feel hopeless and defeated, it suddenly appears.

You don't remember when it started, never have to pretend
It is difficult to recall the exact moment it began, and there is no need to fake or pretend anything.

The girl from England who is now in an American town.

My English girl in an American town
The girl from England who is now in an American town.
