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
