Lyrics
Back of your mom's car, trading bracelets Playing board games in the basement I could swear that it was simple, all my problems felt so little What a daydream If I could slow it down Would my feet touch the ground? I just wanna hold on I'm scared of losing the moment Running 'til the gold's gone The seasons change and I know it I feel the time is slipping, and I already miss it While I'm still holding light in my hands I just wanna hold on, hold on Running 'til the gold's gone, gold's gone Out on the edge of on my own now And they told me not to look down And my heart is still the same, but in the mirror things have changed How'd it happen? It threw me off of my balance I just wanna hold on I'm scared of losing the moment Running 'til the gold's gone The seasons change and I know it I feel the time is slipping, and I already miss it While I'm still holding light in my hands I just wanna hold on, hold on Running 'til the gold's gone, gold's gone And I won't be sleeping tonight Oh, my head's too busy Guess this is being alive Tell myself to breathe I know there's silver linings, so I'll hold on Until the gold's gone, gone I just wanna hold on I'm scared of losing the moment Running 'til the gold's gone The seasons change and I know it I feel the time is slipping, and I already miss it While I'm still holding light in my hands I just wanna hold on, hold on Running 'til the gold's gone, gold's gone
