Golden

(album: Before I Sleep - 2013)

I wanna sing the song you wrote for me
We had it on repeat it was golden

But now you're gone
It feels so wrong, the melody
Changed so much since I heard it first,
None of the words belong to me

So I blow out the candle
You're now an old flame
Stuck in a burning room
There's no point in hoping we'll keep on holding
Something that has no use

In a new light
Would it feel like
The first time?
Can we stay, stay, can we stay here golden?

I went to find the heart you held for me
I had to mend the pieces you'd broken

And now you're gone, it feels so wrong
The heartbeat
Changed so much now
It holds it's own, my feelings don't belong to me

So I blow out the candle
You're now an old flame
Caught in the atmosphere
There's no point in hoping we'll keep on holding
Something that is not there

In a new light
Would it feel like
The first time
Can we stay, stay can we stay here golden?

In a new light
Would it feel like
The first time
Can we stay, stay can we stay here golden?

Can we stay, stay can we stay here golden?
Can we stay, stay can we stay here golden?
Can we stay, stay can we stay here golden?

I blow out the candle
You're now an old flame (can we stay, stay, stay here golden?)
Stuck in a burning room
There's no point in hoping we'll keep on holding (can we stay, stay stay here golden?)
Something that has no use
