Golden Dime (version 2)

[Intro]—

Verse 1

Sunburnt palms, your laugh catches in the smoke

Coke glass heavy, silver ice, and a slow-drawn joke

Gold hour's burning down on the four of us

Every snap feels like the one we choose

You pull my collar, say I'm the only one

Your fingers tracing the outline of the sun

Freckles map the hours we can't count

We dance in dust that's still afloat

And the static noise becomes a song

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it pulling us apart

Into two separate stars

Is it gold or is it fire

Or is it just your hand on mine

Chorus

Golden dime, catch the light

You were never mine, but I'm still in

Sunset drops and I'm gone

Golden dime, caught the sun, left alone

Verse 2

Shadows stretch across your chest

We let the record skip

Your eyes are warm like burning embers

I hold on till you pull me free

Saltwater wind pulls through my hair

Every goodbye feels like a prayer

The light's not fading yet

But I know it will, so let's get in it first

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it pulling us apart

Into two separate stars

Is it gold or is it fire

Or is it just your hand on mine

Chorus

Golden dime, catch the light

You were never mine, but I'm still in

Sunset drops and I'm gone

Golden dime, caught the sun, left alone

Bridge

Maybe this time we stay

But maybe every sunset's just a goodbye

No gold can hold on to what it has

Not when the day decides to fly

I'll leave with you no matter what

Still counting up the days we had

Chorus

Golden dime, catch the light

You were never mine, but I'm still in

Sunset drops and I'm gone

Golden dime, caught the sun, left alone
