GOLD
Jace Everett Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never found what I was needing
Running out of leads and possibilities
Never thought I'd see just what I'm seeing
It took a while to get through
All of my bad luck
Ever since I met you
Baby, when it comes to love
You know you've got the Midas touch
It's gold
That heart inside of you
Is 24 carat through and through
Just keep on doin' what you're doin'
It's gold
Your angel face
How you say my name
That magic way, your kisses linger
That sexy laugh
And that look you have
It's all got me wrapped around your finger
I don't wanna fall asleep
Don't wanna close my eyes
'Cause all night long I wanna keep
Watching you shine like gold
Baby, when it comes to love
You know you've got the Midas touch
It's gold
That heart inside of you
Is 24 carat through and through
Just keep on doin' what you're doin'
It's gold
Yeah, it took a while to get through
All of my bad luck
But ever since I met you
I feel like I've just struck gold
Baby, when it comes to love
You know you've got the Midas touch
It's gold
That heart inside of you
Is 24 carat through and through
Just keep on doin' what you're doin'
It's gold
It's gold
God, everything you do
Is making me fall in love with you
It's gold

Line by Line Meaning
I been up and down this lonely town
I have spent a lot of time searching around this city, feeling lonely and unfulfilled
Never found what I was needing
Despite my search, I never found what I was looking for
Running out of leads and possibilities
I had exhausted every option available to me
Never thought I'd see just what I'm seeing
I never imagined that my luck would turn around and I would find what I needed
It took a while to get through
It took a long time to overcome my obstacles
All of my bad luck
The negative circumstances that were holding me back
Ever since I met you
Since the moment I met you
I feel like I've just struck gold
I feel like I have found something incredibly valuable and rare
Baby, when it comes to love
When it comes to matters of the heart
You know you've got the Midas touch
You have a special ability to turn everything you touch into gold, just like King Midas of Greek mythology
That heart inside of you
The core of your being
Is 24 carat through and through
You are pure and genuine, without any flaws or impurities
Just keep on doin' what you're doin'
Whatever you're doing is working, so keep doing it
Your angel face
Your beautiful face, like that of an angel
How you say my name
The way you pronounce my name, which is special to me
That magic way, your kisses linger
The enchanting way your kisses stay with me long after they're over
That sexy laugh
Your attractive and alluring laughter
And that look you have
The expression on your face, which is captivating to me
It's all got me wrapped around your finger
I am completely under your influence and control
I don't wanna fall asleep
I don't want to miss a moment of being with you
Don't wanna close my eyes
I don't want to end the experience of being with you
'Cause all night long I wanna keep
I want to stay with you for as long as possible
Watching you shine like gold
Watching you be your wonderful self
God, everything you do
Everything you do is amazing to me
Is making me fall in love with you
I am falling deeper in love with you with each passing moment
