Santa Monica 03:47
The hours spent in misty air Before I drive you home I’ll tell you what she’ll never hear Together we’re alone And I can’t take These endless nights I never knew you Oh freeways red and shining gold Tell me your scared and lost We sit in park as sun creeps up I always drive too fast And I can’t say What’s on my mind We map out roads that we make up I’ll take your hand in mine We’ll drift through rainy washed out nights The blind will lead the blind And I can’t leave We’re not done I never knew you

(Ohh) It cracks me open every time we realize (the time) These days are numbered, crawling out with low tide (it fades) as gold surrounds us we will swim for sunset (away) chasing the light, insist that we’re not done yet We sit together in the graves These are the sweetest summer days I wanna hear you say hello forever (Ohh) It ends in blurred, wet hot American nights (the time) Ignore the dark, bleach blonde we sit in starlight (it fades) Whole-hearted, broken, turn the radio up (away) Silently question as we shout over songs The sun fades out the final shot Our last night together ‘til it’s not I wanna hear you say hello forever

Drifting west we meet late 3am the red moon hangs Too afraid to make mistakes We take our time We take our time There are doubts that we can't shake Walking across LA I will never be the same We wait for signs We wait for signs Under quiet beach caves Talking movies in the waves Give to us a perfect day We pray for time we pray for time Oh it's too late (should we have stayed) Grown older in the shade (should we have stayed) Oh it's too late (Should we have stayed) When we leave too early Born to run down interstates Will we ever find our place We say we're fine We say we're fine Further east we'll separate New years eve you kiss my face Will we ever be the same We take our time We take our time Oh it's too late (should we have stayed) Grown older in the shade (should we have stayed) Oh it's too late (Should we have stayed)

Gold 05:04
Will you ever change your ways I never know, I never know my place Will I see your light your face Looking down on my attempts at grace I never know my state I never know my state Can you take my hands my fate Overwhelmed by ever-seeking faith Can I ever know your state Always running never keeping pace I never know my state I never know my state We are gold We are gold We are gold Wait for me in great estates I will see you reaching through the gates Raising your arms to embrace Catch me as blood stumbles through my veins Carry me to stand and wait Softly asking, aren't you glad you came Oh aren't you glad you, aren't you glad you came We are gold We are gold We are gold

I don't think I'm gonna go to LA anymore I don't think I'm gonna go to LA anymore I don't know what it's like to land And not race to your door I don't think I'm gonna go to LA anymore I don't think I'm gonna go to LA anymore I'm not sure that I really ever could Hold on to your hotel key in your Bedroom neighbourhood Me sleep-walking in Hollywood I'm gonna steer clear I burn up in your atmosphere I'm gonna steer clear 'Cause I'd die if I saw you I'd die if I didn't see you there So I don't think I'm gonna go to LA anymore I don't think I'm gonna go to LA anymore I get lost on the boulevard at night Without your voice to tell me I love you, take a right The ten and the two is the loneliest sight I'm gonna steer clear I burn up in your atmosphere I'm gonna steer clear 'Cause I'd die if I saw you I'd die if I didn't see you there I'm gonna steer clear I burn up in your atmosphere I'm gonna steer clear 'Cause I'd die if I saw you I'd die if I didn't see you there See you there
