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 till 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 dominos
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 nevеr seen a love as pure as it
And then it fadеs into the gray of my day old tea
‘Cause it won’t, 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 till 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 dominos
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
