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
Outro
Paint it back in gold
Paint it back in gold
