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 in 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
Silently 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 forearm

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
Why would I let you go?
Let you go?
Go!
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, yeah!
