Gold Light on the Map (Version 2)

Verse 1

Sixteen on the platform, ticket torn

Your backpack slung over your shoulder born

You said leave now or we don't make it round

I threw my keys in the trash and I jumped up loud

Said who cares about the station sign?

City lights were calling — I could hear them hum

Every stop a secret, every door we run

We rode the whole route back to front

Spill our secrets on the empty train

Nobody's watching when the cars go by again

Pre-Chorus

Hold my hand and turn up loud now

Nothing in the world can keep us down now

Chorus

Gold light on the map, we're running wild tonight

Feet don't stop till the sun comes home to light

Lost but we feel alive

Every station's a lie we tell tonight

Verse 2

Twenty at a rooftop bar in Hongdae town

Your shoes kicked off and your feet on the counter now

The whole block's asleep — only us awake

You said this is the year we're gonna break free, make it great

I stole a pen from a store so you could write my name

We made a vow between two empty bottles and flames

Some things never get erased once written out loud

Like every station we skipped on that train

Pre-Chorus

Hold my hand and turn up loud now

Nothing in the world can keep us down now

Chorus

Gold light on the map, we're running wild tonight

Feet don't stop till the sun comes home to light

Lost but we feel alive

Every station's a lie we tell tonight

Bridge

When the money runs out and we have nowhere left to go

We'll fold up this ticket and say we knew — that's the gold

That every station was, every mile we walked in vain

Was just our proof of living — nothing else, nothing gained

Nothing held back, no name on a wall to prove it true

Just us, headlights, and roads we never knew

Chorus

Gold light on the map, we're running wild tonight

Feet don't stop till the sun comes home to light

Lost but we feel alive

Every station's a lie we tell tonight
