gold rush

Gleaming

Twinkling

Eyes like sinking ships

On waters so inviting

I almost jump in

I don't like a gold rush, gold rush

I don't like anticipating my face in a red flush

I don't like that anyone would die to feel your touch

Everybody wants you

Everybody wonders what it would be like to love you

Walk past, quick brush

I don't like slow motion double vision in rose blush

I don't like that falling feels like flying 'til the bone crush

Everybody wants you

But I don't like a gold rush

What must it be like

To grow up that beautiful?

With your hair falling into place like dominoes

I see me padding across your wooden floors

With my Eagles T-shirt hanging from the door

At dinner parties

I call you out on your contrarian shit

And the coastal town

We wandered 'round had never

Seen a love as pure as it

And then it fades into the gray of my day-old tea

'Cause it could never be

'Cause I don't like a gold rush, gold rush

I don't like anticipating my face in a red flush

I don't like that anyone would die to feel your touch

Everybody wants you

Everybody wonders what it would be like to love you

Walk past, quick brush

I don't like slow motion double vision in rose blush

I don't like that falling feels like flying 'til the bone crush

Everybody wants you

And I don't like a gold rush

What must it be like

To grow up that beautiful?

With your hair falling into place like dominoes

My mind turns your life into folklore

I can't dare to dream about you anymore

At dinner parties

I won't call you out on your contrarian shit

And the coastal town

We never found will never

See a love as pure as it

'Cause it fades into the gray of my day-old tea

'Cause it will never be

Gleaming

Twinkling

Eyes like sinking ships

On waters so inviting

I almost jump in
