Whitney Houston's National Anthem - Matt Nathanson

Produced by：David Baron

We danced across your mother's kitchenette

While they swore in your father's president

Your brother used to come around the house

He knows better than to pull that ******** now

I liked it when your hair was long

And the last thing we agreed on

Was Whitney Houston's national anthem

So you pull the ripcord I'll crash the plane

You move closer I pull away

The meaning keeps changing

The words are the same

We're still pretending we're not who we are

America's sweetheart we tore her apart

Everything magic disappears anyway

America's a country club at best

Safe harbor for the famous and the blessed

Captain Kirk finally made it up to space

Like there's no one down here left for him to save

We're over-served and unimpressed

Let's pack it up and leave this mess

Playing Whitney Houston's national anthem

So you pull the ripcord I'll crash the plane

You move closer I pull away

The meaning keeps changing

The words are the same

We're still pretending we're not who we are

America's sweetheart we tore her apart

Everything magic disappears anyway

Oh say can you see I'm dying here

Oh say can you see I'm trying dear

I'm trying

We danced across your mother's kitchenette

While they swore in your father's president

You used to come alive when I'd walk in the room

And now we stumble over all our dreams coming true

As the evening sky drifts into dust

Still everything's about us

Except for Whitney Houston's national anthem

So you pull the ripcord I'll crash the plane

You move closer I pull away

The meaning keeps changing the words are the same

We're still pretending we're not who we are

America's sweetheart we tore her apart

Everything magic disappears anyway

Everything magic disappears anyway
