Our Nation (song)

Lyrics

[Intro]
Oh, oh
Neon crown
[Verse 1]
Pull up slow in a midnight coupe
Windows dark so you can’t see through
Same old faces that laughed back then
Now they’re calling me their oldest friend
Diamonds dancing in the dashboard light
I ain’t sleeping, I just own the night
Built this empire out of every no
Now the whole town’s watching how I glow
[Pre-Chorus]
Look what you made
Look what I became
Every door you closed
Just put me in the frame
[Chorus]
I’m wearing a neon crown
Shining down on the whole wide town
Every light that you see is mine
Every dollar, every dotted line
I’m wearing a neon crown
Never coming back to the ground
You can stare but you can’t come close
I’m the one that you need the most
[Post-Chorus]
Neon crown
Neon crown
Burning bright ‘til it burns me down
Neon crown
[Verse 2]
Penthouse view from the fortieth floor
Velvet rope at the private door
Girls in silver and the bottles cold
Everything I touch is turning gold
But the mirror don’t lie when the party’s through
Sometimes I don’t know who I’m talking to
Fame’s a fever and I like the heat
Keep it running ‘til the sun and me meet
[Pre-Chorus]
Look what you made
Look what I became
Every door you closed
Just put me in the frame
[Chorus]
I’m wearing a neon crown
Shining down on the whole wide town
Every light that you see is mine
Every dollar, every dotted line
I’m wearing a neon crown
Never coming back to the ground
You can stare but you can’t come close
I’m the one that you need the most
[Post-Chorus]
Neon crown
Neon crown
Burning bright ‘til it burns me down
Neon crown
[Bridge]
Lights go out at the end of the show
Who’s still standing when the cameras go?
I made a king out of a lonely boy
But a crown of light is a fragile toy
So let it shine, let it blind you all
I’ll keep on rising ‘til the day I fall
[Final Chorus]
I’m wearing a neon crown
Shining down on the whole wide town
Every light that you see is mine
Every dollar, every dotted line
I’m wearing a neon crown
Never coming back to the ground
You can stare but you can’t come close
I’m the one that you need the most
[Outro]
Neon crown
Neon crown
Burning bright ‘til it burns me down
Neon crown
Oh, oh
