Golden
Brian Bulger Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Could this be the last time
I see your face in person
Sleep until the daylight
And open all the curtains
Paint the morning heaven's colors
Drive all day to see it
Every time the camera shutters
Good love helps me feel it

Could this be the first time
I see you breaking down
Like a sky still kind
I'll put your feet on the ground
Paint the morning heavens colors
Drive all day to see it
Every time the camera shutters
Good love helps me feel it

I know your love will be
Always Golden to me

All the days I worked for nothing
You worked to see this day
Seems I'm just a stones throw now
From fading away
I'll paint the morning heavens colors
Drive all day to see it
Every time the camera shutters
Good love helps me feel it

Remember when we fell in love
Underneath the pine
I had a promise to keep
Your hand in mine
Paint the morning heaven's colors
Drive all day to see it

Every time the camera shutters
Good love helps me feel it

Line by Line Meaning

Could this be the last time
Wondering if this is the end of a relationship

I see your face in person
Seeing the person one last time

Sleep until the daylight
Staying up all night and sleeping in

And open all the curtains
Welcoming a new day

Paint the morning heaven's colors
Creating a beautiful start to the day

Drive all day to see it
Going to great lengths to experience something special

Every time the camera shutters
Capturing important moments

Good love helps me feel it
Love makes everything more meaningful

Could this be the first time
Questioning if something new is happening

I see you breaking down
Witnessing someone in distress

Like a sky still kind
Remaining calm and gentle despite hardships
