Solid Gold

(album: Bridge Over Troubled Dreams - 2021)

There's something in the headphones
(That's yours)
Ah, yeah yeah

You whisper "I love you"
Then I feel the wind as you run out the door
It's only now I see the pattern
You push the limit of my heart
I can't keep up when you're dragging me down
Take it or leave my skin and bones, oh

I wake up from the storm
To my world on the floor
And I'm crying for the times
That you stood in my way

I'm gonna take your bad heart
And turn it into a small dot
It's gonna turn to coal
And I'll burn it all
And all of these embers
Are gonna make you remember
That what you had was always solid gold
Was always solid gold

Have I been sleeping with disaster?
You can't unkiss the damage you've done
I know this sign, it's a heavy warning, oh

I wake up from the storm
I got nothing to lose
Like the rain swept the weight
From my chest

I'm gonna take your bad heart
And turn it into a small dot
It's gonna turn to coal
And I'll burn it all
And all of these embers
Are gonna make you remember
That what you had was always solid gold
Was always solid gold

You whisper "I love you"
To no one cause I'm already gone
You push the limit of my love

I'm gonna take your bad heart
And turn it into a small dot
It's gonna turn to coal
Then I'll burn it all
And all of these embers
Are gonna make you remember
That what you had was always solid gold
Was always solid gold
