Gold at Midnight (Version 2)

Verse

Sitting at the kitchen table in your worn-out T-shirt

Sunday morning light through the window turning red

Coffee cup lukewarm, the newspaper folded in thirds

Your guitar leaning against the wall like it's holding its breath

I'm still humming that one verse you wrote back in March

Every note felt like home before I even knew what it was

Pre-Chorus

So tell me how long this feeling stays around

Is it just a phase or is it something true

Am I chasing light that's already running out

Or do some nights never lose their glow, no matter what

Chorus

Gold at midnight, burning soft in the dark

Your hand on my waist, we don't need words to start

Every moment we catch turns into gold

This is the part where forever feels real and not just a story I'm told

Verse 2

Rain on the highway window, windshield wipers sweeping slow

Radio humming some song from 2015 that I still know

Your jacket on my shoulders like you're still right here beside me

Every mile we drive disappears in this light

This feeling's different than all the rest

It's not just a hush it's a homecoming at best

Pre-Chorus

So tell me how long this feeling stays around

Is it just a phase or is it something true

Am I chasing light that's already running out

Or do some nights never lose their glow, no matter what

Chorus

Gold at midnight, burning soft in the dark

Your hand on my waist, we don't need words to start

Every moment we catch turns into gold

This is the part where forever feels real and not just a story I'm told

Bridge

Maybe forever's never about years and days

It's this feeling right now before it fades away

So I'll hold onto this like it's all that I own

Even when the sun comes up and turns to gold

Chorus

Gold at midnight, burning soft in the dark

Your hand on my waist, we don't need words to start

Every moment we catch turns into gold

This is the part where forever feels real and not just a story I'm told
