Lyrics
Stay Gold
©2005 SRu594-957
Remember back to when you were a child
And the world was bright as the sun
But those things you did you can?t forgive
Just turned the world so numb
Now thinking back to when you were young
And that girl you broke her heart
She wanted a man when you laid her in the sand
But you were a boy and it tore you apart
Chorus:
Stay Gold ? til the end of time
I tell you child ? don?t go blind
The things you do can make you cold
So I tell you child, Stay Gold
Remember that candy you took from the store
And you ran and hid in the trees
It tasted so could just like it should
But you oceans became salty seas
Remember that day you called him name
Yea, the kid who lived up the street
Though sticks and stones could break his bones
Your words cut even more deep
Chorus
Bridge:
Apart from yourself is no place to be
It all becomes darkness and you can?t be free
Imagination dwindles and you can?t see, see, see
Chorus
