Glitter And Gold
Little Daylight Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Some nights, courage running thin
Head down all adrenaline
Whoa oh, you can fight through this
You know what you stand to

Let up and you wonder why
Stage lights leave you paralyze
Whoa oh, you know
This time you're old

You fly like a meteor
Burn bright through the universe
'cause you're glitter and gold
You just gotta let go

Tonight you're electrical
Unchained like an animal
You're glitter and gold
And I want you to know
That you're glitter and gold

One me ...
Your star rising up tonight
This crowd, it moves with you
Their eyes are all I knew

Tough night in a lion's den
One you and a million men
Whoa oh, you know
This time you're old

And it'll be alright
If you close your eyes
You own the night
And everybody will know
That you're glitter and gold

You fly like a meteor
Burn bright through the universe
'cause you're glitter and gold
You just gotta let go

Tonight you're electrical
Unchained like an animal
You're glitter and gold
And I want you to know
That you're glitter and gold

Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Glitter, glitter and gold
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Glitter, glitter and gold
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Glitter, glitter and gold
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Glitter

You fly like a meteor
Burn bright through the universe
'cause you're glitter and gold
You just gotta let go

Tonight you're electrical
Unchained like an animal
You're glitter and gold
And I want you to know
That you're glitter and gold
