First Aid Kit – Stay Gold lyrics

The sun shone high those few summer days
Left us in a song, wide-eyed haze
It shone like gold
It shone like gold

But just as the moon it shines straight
So dawn goes down today
No gold can stay
No gold can stay

What if a heart gives in despair?
What if the road won't take me there?
Oh, I wish, for once, we could stay gold

What if to love and be loved is not enough?
What if I fall and can't bear to get up?
Oh, I wish, for once, we could stay gold
We could stay gold

We're on our way through rugged land
Top of that mountain we wanted to stand
With hearts of gold
With hearts of gold

But there is only forward, no other way
Tomorrow was your whole bad at the end of the day
And gold turns gray
And gold turns gray

What if a heart gives in despair?
What if the road won't take me there?
Oh, I wish, for once, we could stay gold

What if to love and be loved is not enough?
What if I fall and can't bear to get up?
Oh, I wish, for once, we could stay gold
We could stay gold

All of my dreams, they fall and form a bridge
Of memories where I can't get back
All of my dreams, they fall and form a bridge
Of memories where I can't get back
To you

What if a heart gives in despair?
What if the road won't take me there?
Oh, I wish, for once, we could stay gold

What if to love and be loved is not enough?
What if I fall and can't bear to get up?
Oh, I wish, for once, we could stay gold
We could stay gold

Could stay gold
Stay gold
