Alex for Apple Music:
“To me, this song is about two characters who are deeply in love, whose love is not allowed to be that by [a certain] society. They’re gay, and they don’t feel like they’re accepted in their own skin for who they are, or for who they want to love. It’s a cry out to seize that...
[Verse 1]
It's a typical story, three in the morning
You're holding my head
Caught in the tension, silent confessions
At the foot of your bed
Glitter and crimson, fighting the friction
What a perfect mess
I wonder if you feel kinda like I feel
Temporary
Fixed on a moment just out of focus
And we can't quite see
Being us ain't good for us
[Chorus]
And I don't wanna wait 'til the sunshine fades
And bury our love in a shallow grave
'Cause the world could be cruel to us or
We could live for the dangerous so
Let's start, let's start a riot
Hard to sit still when your head's on fire
Oh yeah, oh yeah
'Cause I'm a supernova
And you're my four-leaf clover
[Verse 2]
Heavy as ever, light as a feather
I'm caught in between
Hard to stay focused, process the progress
How long can we be
Happy if happy ain't meant for us?
'Cause being less ain't good enough (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
But being us feels good to us
[Chorus]
And I don't wanna wait 'til the sunshine fades
And bury our love in a shallow grave
'Cause the world could be cruel to us or
We could live for the dangerous so
Let's start, let's start a riot
Hard to sit still when your head's on fire
Oh yeah, oh yeah
'Cause I'm a supernova
And you're my four-leaf clover
[Bridge]
No compromise and no second best
There's no stopping now, this weight on my chest
I won't settle down, won't settle for less
I won't settle for less, I won't settle for less
[Chorus]
I don't wanna wait 'til the sunshine fades
And bury our love in a shallow grave
'Cause the world could be cruel to us or
We could live for the dangerous so
Let's start, let's start a riot
Hard to sit still when your head's on fire
Oh yeah
'Cause I'm a supernova
And you're my four-leaf clover

Kerrang spoke to frontman Alex Gaskarth about the track.
This was dramatic to record (laughs). It was one of the last songs we wrote – in fact, it might have been the very last one. The record was almost done, but I felt like there were a couple of missing pieces. We actually went out to Big Bear [...
