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

You hold my attention

Without even trying

A beautiful reflection

From firework eyes

But never means forever

Desperation and hanging in the backyard

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

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?

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, yeah
