Lyrics
Gold
lyrics by Keram Malicki-Sanchez
Darling girl we just got off the phone
I told you that I need to be alone
The hard thing I’ll ever have to do
Knowing just how much I love you
I never thought I'd have to play the guy
I never like to say the words let's try
Because trying’s not a yes and not a no
But trying it could mean I wouldn’t have to let you go
I’m just reaching for gold
Just reaching for gold
Just reaching for gold
You represent for me all that is pure
A shield against all my diseasiness
The comfort of a quiet house in the woods
The glass wall through which I thought,
That I understood
I’m just reaching for gold
Just reaching for gold, yeah
Just reaching for gold
It’s the hardest thing I'll ever have to do
To try to familiar with myself without you
So baby, baby please don’t let this break your heart
Just remember that we promised to keep it real right from the start
I know I always promised I’d write you a song
And it didn't have to be extravagant or too long
So what…what about if the song comes after we
Start to love other while living independently?
I’m still reaching for gold
Just reaching for gold, yeah
Just reaching for gold
The thing is this relationship’s a haunt
(yellow, blue, green, and brown)
That could slowly turn vulgar or inept or common
So you say you’re sure this is really what you want?
I’m still reaching for gold
Just reaching for gold, yeah
Just reaching for gold
(It’s the hardest thing)
Just reaching for gold
(It’s the hardest thing)
Just reaching for gold
It’s the hardest thing I’ll ever have to do
