Our Nation (song)

Lyrics

[Intro]
Mm
Still dancing
Mm
[Verse 1]
Neon sign is hanging by a thread
Bartender’s counting down the last few bets
Jukebox playing songs we used to know
Everybody’s leaving, but I won’t go
Your jacket’s on the hook, you left it there
Like you’d be coming back to find me here
Outside the sirens singing down the street
The whole world’s breaking, and so is me
[Pre-Chorus]
Spin me ‘round one more time
Even if I’m spinning by myself
Pour me something strong and kind
I’ll pretend that I don’t need your help
[Chorus]
There’s dust on the dance floor
Cracks in the mirror ball
Ashes where the fire was
Nothing left at all
There’s dust on the dance floor
You took the light and ran
And I know I should be leaving
But I’m still dancing
[Verse 2]
Your mama called to say she’s sorry too
Like sorry ever fixed a thing we knew
Watched the headlines flicker on the screen
Everybody’s angry, nobody’s clean
I kept the ring inside a coffee cup
Can’t wear it, but I can’t give it up
They say a broken heart don’t make a sound
But I can hear it echo all around
[Pre-Chorus]
Spin me ‘round one more time
Even if I’m spinning by myself
Pour me something strong and kind
I’ll pretend that I don’t need your help
[Chorus]
There’s dust on the dance floor
Cracks in the mirror ball
Ashes where the fire was
Nothing left at all
There’s dust on the dance floor
You took the light and ran
And I know I should be leaving
But I’m still dancing
[Bridge]
Cities fall, rivers dry
Stars burn out across the sky
Every empire turns to sand
But nothing hurts like where you stand
Gone
[Final Chorus]
There’s dust on the dance floor
Cracks in the mirror ball
Ashes where the fire was
Nothing left at all
There’s dust on the dance floor
You took the light and ran
And I know I should be leaving
But I’m still dancing
[Outro]
Still dancing
Mm, still dancing
Dust on the dance floor
Still dancing
