Gold
Rocket & the Ghost Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thinking of what I said and what I did that made you want to cry
Spent the best days of our lives when we were together
Where did we turn another way and lost each other there?
I’m lost without you now, you know?
Can’t live my life without you, no
I need you more than you need me
Sitting here down by the water, kissing holding hands
I’ve been over this for quite so many times
Going up and down the story not believing anything
It’s really confusing when you’re one day making out
Then the next day you were gone, leaving me in this dead city
I’m lost without you now, you know?
Can’t live my life without you, no
I need you more than you need
Sitting here down by the water, kissing holding hands
How I love you baby, won’t you see that my love for you is true?
Sleepless nights are grey
For golden guys like me
Sleepless nights are dull
For golden guys like us
I’m gold
I’m lost without you now, you know?
Can’t live my life without you, no
I need you more than you need
Sitting here down by the water, kissing holding hands
How I love you baby, won’t you see that my love for you is true?
