[Verse 1]
[Female]
First time that I saw you
Black mask
Red gloves
Front door
You said “You ready
Angel?”
Heart pounding harder than the floor
Cash flying in the lobby
You grabbed my hand instead of gold
We ran laughing through the alleys
Sharing secrets in the cold
[Pre-Chorus]
[Male]
You said
“Baby
Pick a life”
I said
“I just pick you”
Sirens singing in the night
But they sounded like the truth
[Chorus]
[Both]
We were stained with gold
With your hand in mine
Kissing in the getaway car at the borderline
Stealing from the thrones
From their silver shine
Thinking love could outrun every warning sign
We were stained with gold
Hearts on the line
Writing our names in the smoke and the blue light
If the world was wrong
We were still all right
Till the bullets turned our vows into goodbye
[Verse 2]
[Male]
We took rings from a penthouse
You wore diamonds like a dare
Lipstick on the rearview
Lipstick on my neck
Don’t care
You said
“Promise me a sunrise
Where this money doesn’t burn”
I said
“I’ll buy you every morning
If you swear you’ll never turn” (never turn)
[Pre-Chorus]
[Female]
I said
“Baby
Pick a life”
You laughed
“I just pick you”
We were dancing with a ticking clock
Calling it a honeymoon
[Chorus]
[Both]
We were stained with gold
With your hand in mine
Kissing in the getaway car at the borderline
Stealing from the thrones
From their silver shine
Thinking love could outrun every warning sign
We were stained with gold
Hearts on the line
Writing our names in the smoke and the blue light
If the world was wrong
We were still all right
Till the bullets turned our vows into goodbye
[Bridge]
[Female]
Red and blue in your brown eyes
Cold ground on my knees
You said
“Run
Don’t look back”
But my hands wouldn’t leave
[Male]
I covered you
You covered me
In the shadow of the bank lights
Our fingers laced between the glass
As they shouted through the night (through the night)
[Chorus]
[Both]
We were stained with gold
With your hand in mine
Kissing in the getaway car at the borderline
Stealing from the thrones
From their silver shine
Thinking love could outrun every warning sign
We were stained with gold
Hearts on the line
Writing our names in the smoke and the blue light
Now the world moves on
Leaving us behind
Two silhouettes in a headline
[Outro]
[Female]
Wish I met you at a corner store
[Male]
Wish our first touch wasn’t through a broken door
[Both]
But I’d still choose you in another life
Even if it ends the same each time
Stained with gold
Stained with gold (oh)
