Gold
Beau Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What d'ya say that we go where the water's gold
I could do with a drink and too many told
Riding these waves feeling high and low
Printing lips with the lies and the salt they sold

What d'ya say that we go ‘cos our skin grows old
Don't you think or the doubt it will start to grow
We've got the world in our hands but it's spinning slow
With some sun and a spark yeah we'll start to glow

But oh,
Where we gonna go?
I don't even know
Spin the globe and look away
Let's fly away
Why wait a day
Let's make colour from this X2

Oh ay oh ay! X4

What d'ya say that we go where the air is clean
Where the rocks are diamonds and the fruits unseen
All the magic's in this moment and we don't know what it means
It's a ball of colours and shapes and scenes

Oh ay oh ay! X4





Oh ay oh ay! X4
