Gold Lyrics

Back in high school

I would drive around in my car

With the same song on repeat

And back in summer

I could still hear it in my ear

It's been a very good year

Back in spring she

Moved out to Vermont

I helped her pack up all her boxes

And some days go by slow

And others go by fast

With your feet up on the dash

And if I don't know what to say

How could I know what to do

Break the bread

And drink the wine

And try to behave most of the time

Oh we're just doing what we're told

And time it'll keep spinning on like a wheel

We'll try to remember how we used to feel

And I can't feel it now

But you were gold

You were gold

Sometimes I think

That you're living on the moon

And I guess I'll find out when I die

And some ghosts fly and

Others walk upon the earth

Maybe they don't know what they're worth

And if I don't know what to say

How could I know what to do

And maybe it's a little sad

Maybe you'll take the loneliest path

But look what happens when you fold

Maybe it's not about learning to heal

We'll try to remember how we used to feel

And I can't feel it now

But you were gold

You were gold

You're walking down a path that you can't see

And some people find so easily

But they left you out in the cold

We know that the monsters inside us are real

We'll try to remember how we used to feel

And I can't feel it now

But you were gold

You were gold

I can't feel it now, but you were gold
