About The New National Anthem

The intro is a faster version of the song “Europa” by Santana, one can even argue that it’s sampled. “I used to drive six hours just to see this girl that I liked. She was beautiful, but didn’t know it because she was from a small town. I went to her place once and it was completely empty because she was in the process of moving into another apartment. I remember making out with her in the dark in the middle of her empty carpeted floor. .

The New National Anthem Lyrics

[00:29.57] Drag my hand behind you like a chain behind a truck
[00:38.38] Sparks over your carpet while I chase you through the darkness
[00:47.98] Somebody's supposed to fall in love, but nobody even calls
[00:57.63] Somebody's supposed to
[01:01.82] Tear this place apart
[01:04.88] Until you find me hiding, silently I wait
[01:12.37] You'll be excited just to see me someday
[01:18.04] Everything's okay
[01:23.67] Summer and gold throw their colors at the dark
[01:29.41] A mother tells her son, "Darling, look at the sparks"
[01:33.87] But you hold my attention without even trying
[01:38.68] A beautiful reflection from firework eyes
[01:43.47] But never means forever
[01:47.15] Desperation and hanging in the backyard at night
[01:53.03] Somebody's supposed to fall in love
[01:59.84] Tear this place apart
[02:02.60] Until you find me hiding, silenty I wait
[02:10.58] You'll be excited just to see me someday
[02:16.14] Everything's okay
[02:28.89] Love, don't forget to bleed (so slowly)
[02:39.24] Haunted hearts, we melt over the fabric of your floor
[02:48.18] I'm holding her just like she's gold, but I've been running from the sun
[02:56.71] Oh, no, no
[02:59.27] And if I ever catch the ones who hurt you, I
[03:09.16] I'm hoping that God looks away this time (so)
[03:16.57] Why would I let you go? (Why would I let you go?)
[03:21.23] Let you go
[03:25.66] Tear this place apart
[03:29.84] Until you find me hiding, silently I wait
[03:40.13] You'll be excited just to see me someday
[03:47.45] Everything's okay
[03:54.51]
