Lyrics

More Than Gold

So here we are
Years on, came good, found a second voice
And made art out of personal reference points
It's scary, I check my songs
And it feels like so many of my best times gone
Guess I'm scared; man, I'm so scared
'Cause I don't know where this road ends, don't know what lies there
And with age comes wisdom, lose some, win some
On my lonesome for this one, but still my
Heart beats with them; bars, beats and rhythms
Take care of your memories, can't relive them
When I wonder about my own worth
I just hope I splash some bright colours on a cold world
Through a life long career away
On the chance that, for a moment, you'd hear me play
And I'd make this sacrifice again
For these precious few moments on stage, I swear that

This is worth more than it's sold to me
Worth more than these words to me
I need you to know
That is worth more than gold to me
Worth more than you'll ever see
Ever see, oh
