The Color of Gold

I've seen you here before, in my room at night
In a gold sky in a hot air balloon
You threw me down a kite
A kite made of wishes for feathers
To pull me up into the sky
I was tired of counting stitches
Tired of wishes too, so
I climbed up into there with you
You said your favorite color was the blood our bodies hide
We sang your favorite song, love
It was gold and every word a lie

Are we still young
What have we killed to become
That we are
That we are

You and I were singing the color of gold
The notes are still ringing, will they ever fade? I don't know
Darlin my dear, I can still hear them loud and clear
The day they fade we'll be old

You and I were yelling, so hard I could barely hear
The sound of the song over the screaming
Wasted hot air blowing through our ears
And the last night when we were sinking
I jumped out and landed on the moon
I remember every day watching you walk away
And I wonder if I jumped out too soon

Are we still young
What have we killed to become
That we are
That we are

You and I were singing the color of gold
The notes are still ringing, will they ever fade? I don't know
Darlin my dear, I can still hear them loud and clear
Whew
The day they fade we'll be old

I never forgot your cold feet in the bedroom
Or the fire that comes from your lungs
Just look up when you shout and we'll never fall out
It's just hot air into our balloon
