Gold Past Life
You know you're never gonna feel as right
Than in your gold past life
A ship of paper on a sea of fire
Back to your gold past life
Helplessly staring at stagnant stars
What was this thing that took your spirit away?
Head on the bug splattered hood of your car
You pray
Breathlessly calling up your old love
Why did she have to take your essence from you?
Life's been rougher but lately it's pretty rough
For you
You used to dance in the night
With a girl you loved so much
You used to look her in the eyes as the nightbirds sang
I know you're never gonna feel as right
Than in your gold past life
A ship of paper on a sea of fire
Back to your gold past life
I know you're never gonna feel as right
Than in your gold past life
Back to your gold past life
Helplessly staring at a cumulus
What caused this flood that washed your courage away?
With your heart in a knot you cry for love and loss
For all of us
You used to stare into the void
With the love of your life
You used to whisper in her ear
"Little butterfly..."
You know you're never gonna feel as right
Than in your gold past life
A ship of paper on a sea of fire
Back to your gold past life
You know you're never gonna feel as right
Than in your gold past life
A ship of paper on a sea of fire
Back to your gold past life
Back to your gold past life
Back to your gold past life
Back to your gold past life
Than in your gold past life
A ship of paper on a sea of fire
Back to your gold past life
Helplessly staring at stagnant stars
What was this thing that took your spirit away?
Head on the bug splattered hood of your car
You pray
Breathlessly calling up your old love
Why did she have to take your essence from you?
Life's been rougher but lately it's pretty rough
For you
You used to dance in the night
With a girl you loved so much
You used to look her in the eyes as the nightbirds sang
I know you're never gonna feel as right
Than in your gold past life
A ship of paper on a sea of fire
Back to your gold past life
I know you're never gonna feel as right
Than in your gold past life
Back to your gold past life
Helplessly staring at a cumulus
What caused this flood that washed your courage away?
With your heart in a knot you cry for love and loss
For all of us
You used to stare into the void
With the love of your life
You used to whisper in her ear
"Little butterfly..."
You know you're never gonna feel as right
Than in your gold past life
A ship of paper on a sea of fire
Back to your gold past life
You know you're never gonna feel as right
Than in your gold past life
A ship of paper on a sea of fire
Back to your gold past life
Back to your gold past life
Back to your gold past life
Back to your gold past life
