Golden
Aquasun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is falling from my hands
I wish I were smarter
I'm the one who'll miss the chance
Truly golden
Blissful and kind
I wish I could make the time rewind
Always ignored what's needed
To be put on the highest shelf
Something I will regret long after it reveals itself
Truly golden
Blissful and kind
I wish I could make the time rewind
I don't know
What brings you here to me
Maybe something new?
Let me know.
We forgot us in the past
The future hits my core
Now we hope this day will last
Forevermore
