Gold

Covered in gold, forgetting my skin
I recall you, I recall when
Pulling your shirt, up over your head
Laugh and get stuck, get stuck in bed

All that I do is a shadow of you and the light you make
I’m turning my face away from the shade
Swaying on cue I’ll be mimicking you and the way you shake
You’re a difficult love, I’m a narrow escape

All of my clothes, none of which fit
Bringing back us, meeting as kids
Covered up Red, figured out fame
Honor your death, making my name

All of my guilt and the way that I’m built I don’t sleep so well
All of that hope, the end of a rope
Swinging on cue, I’ll by mimicking you and the way you fell
When I know what you know it’s an easy let go

All that I do is a shadow of you and the light you make
I’m turning my face away from the shade
Swaying on cue I’ll be mimicking you and the way you shake
You’re a difficult love, I’m a narrow escape

Covered in gold, forgetting my skin
I recall you, I recall when
