The New National Anthem

Drag my hand behind you like a chain behind a truck Sparks over your carpet while I chase you through the darkness Somebody's supposed to fall in love, but nobody even calls Somebody's supposed to tear this place apart Until you find me hiding, silently I wait You'll be excited just to see me someday, everything's okay Summer and gold throw their colors at the dark A mother tells her son: "Darling look at the sparks" But you hold my attention without even trying A beautiful reflection from firework eyes, but never means forever Desperation, and hanging in the backyard at night Somebody's supposed to fall in love Tear this place apart Until you find me hiding, silenty I wait You'll be excited just to see me someday, everything's okay Love, don't forget to bleed so slowly Haunted hearts we melt over the fabric of your floor I'm holding her just like she's Gold, but I've been running from the sun Oh, no, no And if I ever catch the ones who hurt you, I... I'm hoping that God looks away this time So, why would I let you go? Why would I let you go? Tear this place apart Until you find me hiding, silently I wait You'll be excited just to see me someday, everything's okay
