Dust and Gold 2 7

Verse

Mango peels on the doorstep

Sunrise bleeding through my hands

The only light I trust now is gold

We chase the day like it owes us something we can't understand

The wind picks up and carries me

Past the trees with names that don't belong to me

I hear a voice from somewhere out of time

Saying 'Run, run, let your shadow be free

Pre-Chorus

Is this what forever looks like?

A handful of dust and a sun so bright?

Do we hold on tight or do we fly?

Will I ever know the right goodbye?

Chorus

Dust and gold in my veins

I'm running after something that won't remain

Every sunrise steals me away from you

Leaving us with nothing but this feeling true

Verse

The sky turns orange on a borrowed floor

Your laughter still ringing when I open the door

I leave behind the only home we ever knew

But your smile stays written in my palms and eyes too

The city pulls at me like water to the shore

You're standing there in the doorway, waving goodbye once more

I take one last breath of what we had found

And let the dust carry us into this unknown land

Pre-Chorus

Is this what forever looks like?

A handful of dust and a sun so bright?

Do we hold on tight or do we fly?

Will I ever know the right goodbye?

Chorus

Dust and gold in my veins

I'm running after something that won't remain

Every sunrise steals me away from you

Leaving us with nothing but this feeling true

Bridge

What if forever isn't a place at all?

What if it's just the way we learn to fall

Into each other like falling rain

And holding on doesn't change a thing in vain

Chorus

Dust and gold in my veins

I'm running after something that won't remain

Every sunrise steals me away from you

Leaving us with nothing but this feeling true
