[Verse 1]
I've been watching the news
Seems the world is gonna break down
I've got friends drenched in a sorrow
From the wake of an old town
I've seen my fair share loss, and I've seen the cost
But have I felt the way you feel
American color is flowing from a rain cloud
[Pre-Chorus]
I like to think that we all get the same stories and situations baby
Seems we're all behind the wheel and we take a little fall until we go down
[Chorus]
I don't know what it feels like
All I got are my own pair of shoes
I tie em' up as I sit here and watch the news
I know that you're hurting
I'm trying my best to understand
Please take me with you, show me your point of view
[Verse 2]
I've been watching the world through a window with a lone view
And it seems things are saturated in the color of a cold hue
How can a conversation be so isolating
Won't you tell me how it feels
American color, is flowing from a rain cloud
[Chorus]
I don't know what it feels like
All I got are my own pair of shoes
I tie em' up as I sit here and watch the news
I know that you're hurting
I'm trying my best to understand
Please take me with you, show me your point of view
[Outro]
I don't wanna be part of the problem
I don't wanna be another passer by
I want to be proud standing by your side
This is american color
Seen in the lines used to hyphenate
How much longer will it divide our names
[Chorus]
I don't know what it feels like
All I got are my own pair of shoes
I tie em' up as I sit here and watch the news
I know that you're hurting
I'm trying my best to understand
Please take me with you, show me your point of view
