Just Like Gold

Over fields and hills
Waits a train for us
But we're here because
And I'm counting
Up to 9 again
Up to 9 again
That's how long it lasts

Is this still a gift?
Something we can use
Oh, I'm sorry I'm late
But I started to wait
And discovered I'd lost my shoes
The gold in my excuse
Is only there for you

I show you jewels you've seen a thousand times
And then I tell you that those jewels were never mine
So when you're asking me to
Define that feeling for you
What can I say?
It's there until it goes away and
If they had voices then they'd whisper threats
When they come, they come in silhouettes

Take my arms and tell me
"Don't forget"
I had a story, oh I hope I hadn't told it yet, I
If I could take you there again, someday
You'd only say we've been there, anyway

You'd find your diamonds
But they fade away to ask
You're flying backwards
Now you lose more every time you crash and

Now I'm aware of where it's safe to meet
I find my shoes and then I find my feet
So when you're asking me to
Define that feeling for you
That's what I'll say
It's only there until that gold just slips away
