The New National Anthem Songtext
von Pierce the Veil

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)
So, why would I let you go? (Why would I let you go?)
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
