Cover art for American Love lyrics by Jack's Mannequin

"I kiss your neck but I just can’t look you in the eye" Woah, fantastic line. Really takes ahold of what most superficial relationships feel.

But, I agree with all of you. This song must be about a superficial relationship based on mostly sex. Maybe they're hiding their relationship? Maybe he can't take it anymore? He needs to say goodbye? Maybe we're all heart breakers when we can't turn back. Maybe this is what most American love is all about... sigh
