Stowaway
The Americans Lyrics

Sixteen days I've lain awake
For the past sixteen days, I have been unable to sleep and have been consumed with thoughts of the things that were done to me.

Thinking on the things been done to me
I have been contemplating in great detail about the things that someone has done to me.

I rented that room out, baby
I rented a room for a person, who I affectionately call baby.

The bills ain't been paid lately
I have failed to pay my bills on time and have let them accumulate over a period of time.

My well-laid plans slip away
Despite my detailed planning, my plans seem to be falling apart and slipping away from me.

Close my eyes and I can see the stars
Whenever I close my eyes, I can see the stars in the night sky.

Open them wide, I see shiny cars
Whenever I open my eyes, I can see the reflection of the shiny cars around me.

With that gray sky growing
As the grey sky is starting to grow darker and more ominous-looking.

I guess you should be knowing
I think it is important that you know.

My heart's as wide as the break of day
My emotions, particularly my love and affection, are as vast and immense as the break of day.

My little stowaway
A term of endearment for someone who has snuck aboard with me without anyone knowing.

You're mine
You belong to me.

All revved up like a teenage kid
I am excited and full of youthful energy like a teenager.

I went out on a limb for you, I told a fib
I put myself in a difficult situation by telling a lie to help you.

I said we'd be back tomorrow
I promised that we would return the next day.

But steal and borrow ain't so far apart
The act of stealing and borrowing may seem similar and not too different from one another.

Cross my heart, steal away
I swear and promise to steal away.

Don't be afraid
Do not be scared or frightened.

My little stowaway
A term of endearment for someone who has snuck aboard with me without anyone knowing.

Hold on tight
Grab onto something tightly and do not let go.

To your man of might
Hold onto your strong and powerful man.

When it's said and done, tell me what's become
After everything is over, let me know what has happened.

Of little red ride beneath the morning sun
Of the little red vehicle that was in the sunlight of the morning.

It's like she disappeared
It seems like the vehicle disappeared completely.

We looked everywhere
We searched every possible area.

Lean in close, my dear, I'll tell you something
Come closer to me, my dear, and I will tell you something secretly.
