Bleached Out in Gold (versión 2)

Verse

Four a.m. in your kitchen, the coffee's lost its steam

Poured myself a glass that still tastes like you alone

I'm watching shadows crawl across where you used to be

Trying not to love this empty house too much, I guess

Pre-Chorus

Maybe it's just the dawn breaking on my chest

Maybe I need to leave before this gets

Whatever it is that keeps me here and still

Chorus

I'm bleached out in gold light, losing you with every breath

I'm finding something in the empty of what we used to be

It's a small kind of beauty, but it's not enough for me

Still I'll hold on tight till this whole thing starts to make sense

Verse

You're driving through the sunrise where the highway meets the sea

I'll stay behind and water all your plants in our back yard tree

I know it sounds like nothing left to say but goodbye

But maybe that's just what I need, a clean white sky

Pre-Chorus

Maybe it's just the dawn breaking on my chest

Maybe I need to leave before this gets

Whatever it is that keeps me here and still

Chorus

I'm bleached out in gold light, losing you with every breath

I'm finding something in the empty of what we used to be

It's a small kind of beauty, but it's not enough for me

Still I'll hold on tight till this whole thing starts to make sense

Bridge

So maybe that's the point of it all – watching you go

Watching myself stay here where nothing much grows

Maybe the best way forward is just letting what we had fade

Into something brand new, even if I don't know exactly where that is yet

Chorus

I'm bleached out in gold light, losing you with every breath

I'm finding something in the empty of what we used to be

It's a small kind of beauty, but it's not enough for me

Still I'll hold on tight till this whole thing starts to make sense
