Gold

Back in high school
I would drive around in my car
With the same song on repeat
And back in summer
I could still hear it in my ear
It's been a very good year

Back in spring she
Moved out to Vermont
I helped her pack up all her boxes
And some days go by slow
And others go by fast
With your feet up on the dash

And if I don't know what to say
How could I know what to do

Break the bread
And drink the wine
And try to behave most of the time
Oh we're just doing what we're told
And time it'll keep spinning on like a wheel
We'll try to remember how we used to feel
And I can't feel it now
But you were gold
You were gold

Sometimes I think
That you're living on the moon
And I guess I'll find out when I die
And some ghosts fly and
Others walk upon the earth
Maybe they don't know what they're worth
And if I don't know what to say
How could I know what to do

And maybe it's a little sad
Maybe you'll take the loneliest path
But look what happens when you fold
Maybe it's not about learning to heal
We'll try to remember how we used to feel
And I can't feel it now
But you were gold
You were gold

You're walking down a path that you can't see
And some people find so easily
But they left you out in the cold
We know that the monsters inside us are real
We'll try to remember how we used to feel
And I can't feel it now
But you were gold
You were gold

I can't feel it now, but you were gold
