Forget About Gold

He said the password was "gold" and I laughed at the floor
With my face in my hood and my eyes crying blood
Quite the punchline to robbing a jewellery store

Well I'd sooner look over my shoulder for the rest of my life
Than be stripped of the chance to grow older and dance
On the grave of the "or" between fight and flight

That's when I pretended to pull you back into the car
It was the only way to get us this far

They took me to a different hospital
Because he thought I was in on the job
And so I was told to forget about gold
And avoid any contact with the beaten and robbed

Some things you don't get to say
Some things you don't get to explain
And there are some things that you just shouldn't sing
But sometimes you do it anyway

I'm sorry I pretended to pull you back into the car
But look at us now, that's not where we are
I'll forget about gold when you remember that hug on the road
But for now, I'll take the long way home

Over my dead body, climb
