Run It Back to Gold 2 (version 2)

Verse

Creek bank where we used to sit and laugh

Your mom's swing hanging from the porch strap

Golden light and a long rope swing out over water

You said your grandma taught you how to count with the hour

Sunflowers turning like they're chasing the sun

We were invincible, running till our skin was done

You picked me dandelions just off the side of the road

I thought I'd find adventure there and then it showed

Pre-Chorus

Oh, can we go back to the way that it felt when

Chorus

Run it back to gold

Gold in your hair, gold on my skin

Run it back to gold

Where the light cuts like a promise within

Run it back to gold

You're wearing the same smile that I've been searching for

Run it back to gold

Can we turn this all around and walk right out of the dark into something more

Verse

You said you'd teach me how to fly from the top of the oak

I said my heart was already flying, it just needed a rope

We traded our pocket watches and kept the hands of time

We let go and left all that stuff up in the climb

Creek water turning silver like the moon is on fire

You said you love me like a reckless thing with no desire to retire

I said I'll take it slow, but I'm ready for the fall

And somehow we made a moment where time just stopped at all

Pre-Chorus

Oh, can we go back to the way that it felt when

Chorus

Run it back to gold

Gold in your hair, gold on my skin

Run it back to gold

Where the light cuts like a promise within

Run it back to gold

You're wearing the same smile that I've been searching for

Run it back to gold

Can we turn this all around and walk right out of the dark into something more

Bridge

I don't know if I can turn back the clock

But maybe I just need to turn my head to look

Maybe you're still right there on the porch swing, watching me go

And when I come walking back with the sun in my pocket, do you know that it's because I saw

Chorus

Run it back to gold

Gold in your hair, gold on my skin

Run it back to gold

Where the light cuts like a promise within

Run it back to gold

You're wearing the same smile that I've been searching for

Run it back to gold

Can we turn this all around and walk right out of the dark into something more
