Golden - Switchfoot

She’s alone tonight with a bitter cup and

She’s undone tonight, she’s all used up

She’s been staring down the demons

Who’ve been screaming

She’s just another so and so

Another so and so

You are golden

You are golden child

You are golden

Don’t let go

Don’t let go tonight

There’s a fear that burns like trash inside

And your shame the curse that burns your eyes

You’ve been hiding in the bedroom

Hoping this isn’t how the story has to go

It’s not the way it goes

It’s your book now

You are golden

You are golden, Child

You are golden

Don’t let go

Don’t let go tonight

You’re a lonely soul in a land of broken hearts

And far from home is a perfect place to start

(Yeah!)

La la la la la la

La la la la la la

La la la la la la

So this final verse is a contradiction

And the more we learn the less we know

We’ve been talking' about a feeling

We both know inside but couldn’t find the words

I couldn’t write this verse

I’ve seldom been so sure

About anything before

Golden

You are Golden, child

You are Golden

(Don't let go)

(Don't let go tonight)

This world is a dead man down (Golden, you are)

Every breath is a fading crown we wear (Golden, Child, you are)

Like some debilitated king (Golden, don’t let go)

(Don't let go tonight)

The Earth spins and the moon goes 'round (Golden, you are)

The green comes from the frozen ground (Golden, Child, you are)

And everything will be made new again (Golden)

Like freedom and spring (Golden, Golden)

Hey, like freedom and spring (Golden, you are, hey)

Like freedom and spring (Golden, Child, you are)

(Gold…)
