gold rush

Gleaming twinkling

Eyes like sinking

Ships on waters

So inviting I almost jump in

But I don't like a gold rush gold rush

I don't like anticipating my face in a red flush

I don't like that anyone would die to feel your touch

Everybody wants you

Everybody wonders what it would be like to love you

Walk past quick brush

I don't like slow motion double vision in rose blush

I don't like that falling feels like flying till the bone crush

Everybody wants you

But I don't like a gold rush

What must it be like to grow up that beautiful

With your hair falling into place like dominos

I see me padding across your wooden floors

With my Eagles t-shirt hanging from the door

At dinner parties I call you out on your contrarian s**t

And the coastal town we wandered 'round

Had never seen a love as pure as it

And then it fades into the gray of my day old tea

'Cause it could never be

'Cause I don't like a gold rush gold rush

I don't like anticipating my face in a red flush

I don't like that anyone would die to feel your touch

Everybody wants you

Everybody wonders what it would be like to love you

Walk past quick brush

I don't like slow motion double vision in rose blush

I don't like that falling feels like flying till the bone crush

Everybody wants you

And I don't like a gold rush

What must it be like to grow up that beautiful

With your hair falling into place like dominos

My mind turns your life into folklore

I can't dare to dream about you anymore

At dinner parties I won't call you out on your contrarian s**t

And the coastal town we never found

Will never see a love as pure as it

'Cause it fades into the gray of my day old tea

'Cause it will never be

Gleaming twinkling

Eyes like sinking

Ships on waters

So inviting I almost jump in
