Gold on My Skin 3

Intro

Gold on my skin

Breathe it in

Verse 1 – male vocal

City lights turn to copper, amber low

Streetlights catch the dust we never know

Fingers trace the windows, glass gone thin

I can feel the gold before I come inside

Chorus – female vocal lead with layered harmonies

Gold on my skin, gold in the room

Sunrise moving through us like a moon

Gold on my skin where you left your name

Gold on my skin and we're not the same

Verse 2

Concrete's cool but my hands don't feel it now

Your shirt still hangs behind the chair somehow

Bassline fades into birdsong outside

I'm keeping every inch of this side

Pre-Chorus – male vocal, half spoken

Tell me what to hold onto when the day comes

Tell me where you're going and how long it'll take

Chorus – female vocal lead with layered harmonies

Gold on my skin, gold in the room

Sunrise moving through us like a moon

Gold on my skin where you left your name

Gold on my skin and we're not the same

Bridge – soft guitar, just piano for a moment

Maybe it's okay if this never stays

Maybe morning only holds us half a day

I'm keeping the glow in my chest instead of the night

So that I can carry it till the dark returns again

Outro – female vocal, fade with harmonies

Gold on my skin

Gold and the sky begins
