Gold
Sleeping with Sirens Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All we want is gold
Sun sets on my nylon
Pull the windows down in the van
Lost my map on the Jersey turnpike
But it's okay we ain't looking back
All we ever want is gold
We made our mistakes
It's not too late
We had to learn the hard way
Bridges will burn
Now it's our turn
We had to learn the hard way
Because all we ever want is gold
We made our mistakes
It's not too late
We had to learn the hard way
It's two in the morning
Can't seem to find the words for a song
I remember my dreams and how fun they seem
I can't believe how far we have come
Cause all we ever want is gold
So is sixty miles on this open road
We made our mistakes
It's not too late
We had to learn the hard way
Bridges will burn
Now it's our turn
We had to learn the hard way
Because all we ever want is gold
We made our mistakes
It's not too late
We had to learn the hard way
Don't lose your faith in me (Don't ever look like, don't ever look like)
It's never what it seems
You make your mistakes
But it's never too late
We had to learn the hard way
You made your mistakes
It's not too late
You had to learn the hard way
Bridges will burn
Now it's your turn
You had to learn the hard way
Cause all we ever want is gold
All we ever want is gold (We had to learn the hard way)
All we want, what we want is
All we want is gold
All we want, what we want is
All we want is gold

I'm sure that some people will be upset about the pop sound, but I like pop music along with their post hardcore sound. All that really matters to me is if the song is good, not the genre. I think it's cool when bands change things up a bit anyway. It would be boring if all of their songs sounded the same. I really like this song, and I'm looking forward to the rest of the album.

True! And besides change is part of growing up and learning. If you or we fans truly adore and love our favorite bands/singers..shouldnt it be proper to support them through thick and thin. No matter what kind of sounds or genre.. the fact that SWS sang it, is all that matters.

JustJaida Totally. I hate when people write a song or artist off because of the genre. As long as the lyrics are sincere and the beat is good, I'm all for it.
