Golden Boy

I was bored of what I knew
Same wear talk and walk those dudes
Blended in gray scale nothing new
You were not from the east coast
One look was all it took to know
You would color my point of view

When gold tinted the sky you'd pull up in your rusted
Truck I swear your smile stole my breath
The gold flecks in your eyes lit up like fire crackers
When in the sun I laid, I laid upon your chest
But

I had to learn the hard way
Nothing gold can stay
Oh I had to learn the hard way
Cause my golden boy you walked away
Nothing gold can stay
Ya you taught me that the hard way

But I begged begged begged don't go
Tangled our bronze limbs stay close
Oh I begged begged begged don't go
But by dusk I was alone

Summer of seventeen and rose
Buds lined the sides of the dune roads
Life never seemed so colorful
You'd pull a tattered blanket out
We'd stare up at the stars and count
Lost track distracted by your mouth

And when gold tinted the sky you'd pull up in your rusted
Truck I swear your smile stole my breath
The gold flecks in your eyes lit up like fire crackers
When in the sun I laid upon your chest

But I had to learn the hard way that
Nothing gold can stay
Oh I had to learn the hard way
Cause my golden boy you walked away
Nothing gold can stay
Ya you taught me that the hard way
But

His touch sparked me to life
But we loved on borrowed time
Cause nothing nothing nothing gold can stay
And I'll say that I'm just fine
But still feel his loss sometimes
Cause nothing nothing nothing gold

But I begged begged don't go
Tangled our bronze limbs stay close
Oh I begged begged don't go
But by dusk my heart bled
Gold
