(Verse 1)
Late night, city glow,
Riding with the windows low,
Thought I left you long ago,
But my mind keeps pullin’ me back home.
Heartbeats in the rearview,
All the things I never said to you,
I still feel your hands when the storms get loud,
Still hear your name in the quiet of the crowd.
(Pre-Chorus)
And I try to let go,
But the world moves slow
When I think about us…
Yeah, I think about us…
(Chorus)
You were golden,
Shinin’ in the dark like you owned it.
Every little piece of you
Still lingers in my mood.
I keep holdin’—
Even when the night feels broken.
Baby, I still see your flame,
Burnin’ in my veins…
You were golden.
(Verse 2)
I remember Sunday rain,
Laughin’ through the window panes,
Every time we said we’d change,
But we stayed the same old runaway flame.
Now I’m drivin’ past your street,
Wonderin’ if you think of me,
Every song hits deeper than before,
Yeah, I still feel you at my core.
(Pre-Chorus)
And I try to move on,
But the days feel long
When I think about us…
Still think about us…
(Chorus)
You were golden,
Shinin’ in the dark like you owned it.
Every little piece of you
Still lingers in my mood.
I keep holdin’—
Even when the night feels broken.
Baby, I still see your flame,
Burnin’ in my veins…
You were golden.
(Bridge)
Maybe someday we’ll find
A better version of time,
Maybe somewhere you’ll be mine—
Or maybe not… but you’re still
Golden in my mind.
(Chorus)
You were golden,
Shinin’ in the dark like you owned it.
Every little piece of you
Still lingers in my mood.
I keep holdin’—
Even when the night feels broken.
Baby, I still see your flame,
Burnin’ in my veins…
You were golden.
