Lyrics:
A little something in the air
I thought I didn’t have a prayer
But your friend said, “have faith”
Rehearsing what I might say
You turn your head, I look away
And I’m cursing my name

There’s a voice that’s saying, “take your seat”
This town is small and yet you are always out of reach

But suddenly
Every flash of light is
Shining on your face
I’m lost for words and
I’m feeling my heart race
And I’ve wanted this so bad
How long I won’t say
In this American Dream
Tell me that you’ll stay

You say the city’s gonna talk
And that you dream of running off
And you’ll never look back
But would it be so bad
If we changed our plans
Are we living in the past

There’s a voice that’s saying, “step right up”
It’s all we’ve known but maybe that could be enough

But suddenly
Every flash of light is
Shining on your face
I’m lost for words and
I’m feeling my heart race
I’ve wanted this so bad
How long I won’t say
In this American Dream
Tell me that you’ll stay

In my heart
By my side
But if I can’t change your mind
Give me your word that you’ll remember this night

Looking up
At the sky
With all our friends standing by
Frozen in the spotlight
Frozen in the spotlight, yeah

There’s a voice that’s saying, “step right up”

Suddenly
Every flash of light is
Shining on your face
I’m lost for words and
I’m feeling my heart race
And I’ve wanted this so bad
How long I won’t say
In this American Dream
Tell me that you’ll stay (ohh)

Tell me that you’ll stay
Tell me that you’ll stay
Tell me that you’ll stay

I only wish more people loved and acknowledged the immense value of your music as much as those few of us do

[jonathangoforth]

How many Songs of the Summer can a single band drop?

Getaway, Down, Paradise, and now American Dream!

[amyivory]

This makes my soul sing so much. Life is so good and we are so blessed!!!

[remedy]

Keeps getting better with each listen, and it started at 100

[sundaynight]

This is perfect! One of the best songs of 2024. If Jimmy Eat World, The Killers and Savage Garden wrote a song in 1987 it would sound like this.

[LukonR]

Thank you for releasing banger after banger since 2015, you guys are really something special ❤

[thedpshow]

The algorithm sent a clip of these guys my way this morning and I haven’t stopped listening all day. Nothing like the feeling of discovering new music. 😌

[JanKarloRafael]

I absolutely love this, metaphors, and all ❤

[collinrxl]

Heck yeah we love new music from The Strike!

[EllOhCee]

I wish I could fully put into words how much I love The Strike, your music gives me such nostalgic and good vibes, but despite that nostalgia it just hits different than anything I've heard before. You guys keep killin it with every single release, songs that I would gladly and DO listen to on repeat over and over. Thank you so much for what you do <3

[LPPlayer]

You guys manage to put into words and melody what I lived through in my teens and early 20’s. And yes, I cursed my name when I lost the courage to go after what I wanted because I didn’t think I was worthy of it. And I ignored the voice that said step right up because I couldn’t see the awesome person that I was and would become, yet a lot people around me certainly saw it. So I chose not to take my shot because I was afraid of failing, though the possibility of failing was small. We are our own worst enemy and our own worst critic and sometimes it pays off to give yourself permission to be f-ing awesome.

[joshuajones]

Loveeee you My ultimate favorite band!!

[videofrog]

Thank you for creating the masterful soundscapes that remind us of how our first dreams were the most powerful and authentic ones, and how going back to them adds years to our life and life to our years!

[NGEVA]

This song is a total bop and at the same time hits me right in the feels

[hollyjohnson]

What a song! How are you guys not global stars. I love your music so much and have followed for years. Please please come to Ireland or stream a live gig! I will be dancing in my seat!

[samwellgent]

My god fellas, you are like nothing else at this point in music history. Please do this….the world needs you. More, take over and fill this place with that feel❤️🌍

[SativaSamurai]

Was waiting for the saxophone... and there it was. Another great song. Loved your show in Atlanta. Thank you for taking time out to meet your fans.

[VintageBeauty]

I’m so happy I found you guys on Spotify!! I love your music so much!!

[Arc-Trinity]

I've been excited for this full release ever since seeing the preview, awesome job guys! :3

[Get_off_my_bridge]

This album is going to be worth the wait. The passion shines though, both in your releases, and I'm your live performance. We can tell you do this because you love it
