Golden Boy Lyrics

Who's to say why you chose to leave

For the stratosphere they'll say you're dreaming of

I'd hate to think if I was somewhat pretty

Or somewhat easier to love

You might just think twice or maybe stay the night

Or maybe find your stratosphere is here with me

But that's a dangerous thought, thinking you forgot

About the dreams that they assigned to you and me

Oh, sweet golden boy

You were meant to land among the stars

Sunbeams for your toys

Grew up with treasure in your heart

The world is up your sleeve

So where does that leave me?

Wrapped around your finger

But Saturn's rings won't linger, golden boy

Mmm, golden boy

I wasn't born with fire in my veins

I became what I was told and that was really nothing much

I wish I wasn't torn up all the same

I wish I knew the consequence of coming to your touch

But would I think twice? Get swept into the night?

Sometimes I'm back there with you begging you to stay

But that's a dangerous thought, it's easier you forgot

I won't believe that you're the one who's pushing me away

Oh, sweet golden boy

You were meant to land among the stars

Sunbeams for your toys

Grew up with treasure in your heart

The world can finally see it

The magic I believed in

Wrapped around your finger

But Saturn's rings won't linger, golden boy

My golden boy

Son of the sun, I keep reaching for you

But I'm so tired, aren't you tired too?

Don't call me Icarus, when I took flight I knew

It would be worth the burn just to be close to you

While you're in the sky I'll be squinting my eyes to see

And thinking about how tiny I must seem

Well, I hope you're looking down, but it's wishful thinking now

You're the one the whole world's after

Set myself up for disaster

Oh, sweet golden boy

You were meant to land among the stars

A sunbeam with no choice

But to share the treasure buried in his heart

With the whole world up your sleeve

Have you forgotten me?

I've changed since you last been here

Look down, look down, look down

Look down, look down, look down

Look down, look down, look down

Look down, look down, look down

I'm still wrapped around your finger, golden boy
