Paint It Back in Gold

Verse

Picked the lock and let the door swing open wide

Gold light pouring in from every corner of the room

Every shadow turned to liquid, rolling off the floor

I don't need a mirror when the sunrise does this for me

Bare feet on the balcony, feeling warm and free

City waking up like it's the only thing I've ever seen

Nothing left to hide behind

Pre-Chorus

So what are we waiting for?

Can you hear the clock surrendering now?

Paint it back in gold

Chorus

Paint it back in gold, paint it back in gold

Every night turns into something older, and I don't want it to go

Paint it back in gold, paint it back in gold

Sunrise light is chasing all my ghosts down the road

So let the whole block shine like a drum

Verse

Strobe lights spinning out where the sky used to be

Neon humming like a thousand sirens singing in harmony

Every single face is running straight towards the door

No one's counting hours, we're only counting more

Bare feet on the concrete, warm as skin

The street is mine tonight, and it's never giving me back my sins

Paint it back in gold

Pre-Chorus

So what are we waiting for?

Can you hear the clock surrendering now?

Paint it back in gold

Chorus

Paint it back in gold, paint it back in gold

Every night turns into something older, and I don't want it to go

Paint it back in gold, paint it back in gold

Sunrise light is chasing all my ghosts down the road

So let the whole block shine like a drum

Bridge

I don't need your permission to stay

The morning doesn't ask me how long I'll stay

This is mine and this is now

Nothing left but gold, nothing left but now

Paint it back in gold

Chorus

Paint it back in gold, paint it back in gold

Every night turns into something older, and I don't want it to go

Paint it back in gold, paint it back in gold

Sunrise light is chasing all my ghosts down the road

So let the whole block shine like a drum
