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 darknessSomebody's supposed to fall in love
But nobody even calls
Somebody's supposed toTear this place apart
Until you find me hiding
Silently I wait
You'll be excited just to see me someday
Everything's okaySummer in gold
Throw their colors at the dark
A mother tells her son
Darling, look at the sparksBut you hold my attention
Without even trying
A beautiful reflection
From firework eyesBut never means forever
Desperation and hanging in the backyard at night
Somebody's supposed to fall in loveTear this place apart
Until you find me hiding
Silently I wait
You'll be excited just to see me someday
Everything's okayLove
Don't forget to bleed
So slowly
Haunted hearts we melt over
The fabric of your forearmI'm holding her just like she's gold
But I've been running from the sun
Oh, no, noAnd 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!
