Just Like Gold

Over fields and hills

Waits a train for us

But we're here because

And I'm counting

Up to 9 again

Up to 9 again

That's how long it lasts

Is this still a gift?

Something we can use

Oh, I'm sorry I'm late

But I started to wait

And discovered I'd lost my shoes

The gold in my excuse

Is only there for you

I show you jewels you've seen a thousand times

And then I tell you that those jewels were never mine

So when you're asking me to

Define that feeling for you

What can I say?

It's there until it goes away and

If they had voices then they'd whisper threats

When they come, they come in silhouettes

Take my arms and tell me:

"Don't forget"

I had a story, oh I hope I hadn't told it yet, I

If I could take you there again, someday

You'd only say we've been there, anyway

You'd find your diamonds

But they fade away to ask

You're flying backwards

Now you lose more everytime you crash and...

Now I'm aware of where it's safe to meet

I find my shoes and then I find my feet

So when you're asking me to

Define that feeling for you

That's what I'll say

It's only there until that gold just slips away
