If only for a beautiful while that still makes me smile
From the way it was before
We were in so close
And she would call me her ugly American
Six hundred miles an hour
We had such power
And every single hope and dream I could ever conjure up
And she would call me her ugly American
Where I once carved a particular name
As I ponder what my pilgrimage means
And she called me her ugly American
But in the best ways not much else has changed
Plausible and perfectly both of ours forever after and every day
And I would call her my Canadian flower
And at least they still have this certain table
Where her feet didn't reach the ground
And I would call her my Canadian flower
At least it seemed that way
I finally made it this town looks rearranged
And I listen to the leaves
And I'll remember my Canadian rose
We had such power
Passionately springs in me and all things are possible
And she called me her ugly American
And my heart beats so hard we were in so close
Especially when the fall comes to Burlington
Once for such a beautiful while that still makes me smile
And when she kisses me it tasted like cinnamon
And I don't think that we'll ever get there again
Especially when the fall comes to Burlington
And my mouth it almost tastes just like cinnamon
I run my fingers through the weathered carving
And I'll remember my Canadian rose
To a square in the center of town
And when she looked at me we both got quiet
We were in so close
And I would call her my Canadian flower
I'm tryin' to get back to Burlington
And I almost can feel the same
To a spot on a wooden table
And I don't think that we'll ever get there again
And I'll remember my Canadian rose
We had such power
And still it feels so slow
And I try to figure out where Vancouver is from here
Once for such a beautiful while that still makes me smile
And she would call me her ugly American
Especially when the fall comes to Burlington
And I don't think that we'll ever get there again
I don't know these people anymore
And her skin smells of cider and rose
And she called me her ugly American
