Gleaming, twinkling,
Eyes like sinking
Ships on waters,
So inviting, I almost jump in.
But 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 nеver seen a love as pure as it,
And thеn 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,
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?
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.
