Hold on to gold (versión 2)

Verse

Your passport's torn at the corner where I wrote your name

A taxi ticket folded like a prayer we couldn't claim

Coffee shop light through the rain on the windowpane

Two weeks left and I'm counting down in vain

The suitcases stacked by the door, I don't know what to hold

Every photograph is pulling me back to gold

Your laugh still ringing when the streetlight flickers low

This ending's got a rhythm nobody taught us how to know

Pre-Chorus

So how do we carry something this wide

Something that feels like it could fly off our side?

I'm holding on to everything but your hand

Learning to carry what the leaving can't stand

Chorus

Hold on to gold, hold on tight

This is the ending turning into light

Every scar that we never healed

Turns out it was just something else I needed

Verse

The station clock ticks slower than a heartbeat in July

I'm reading every word you wrote across my palm in disguise

Salt on your collarbone when you smiled through the rain

I keep replaying January, I keep replaying your name

We said goodbye by the harbor, watching the ships pull out

Now the same sun's breaking over a different route

Your voice still echoes somewhere inside my chest

Maybe endings are just doors that we don't yet know what to possess

Pre-Chorus

So how do we carry something this wide

Something that feels like it could fly off our side?

I'm holding on to everything but your hand

Learning to carry what the leaving can't stand

Chorus

Hold on to gold, hold on tight

This is the ending turning into light

Every scar that we never healed

Turns out it was just something else I needed

Bridge

Maybe the missing's not the absence at all

It's a fire learning how to rise after the fall

I won't let you go because you were mine

I'll learn to carry what still feels like your shine

Chorus

Hold on to gold, hold on tight

This is the ending turning into light

Every scar that we never healed

Turns out it was just something else I needed
