Gleaming, twinkling
Eyes like sinking ships on waters
So inviting, I almost jump in
But I don't like
A gold rush, gold rush
I don't like
Anticipatin' my face in a red flush
I don't like that anyone
Would die to feel your touch
Everybody wants you
Everybody wonders
What it would be like to love you
Walk past, quick brush
I don't like slow motion
Double vision in rose blush
I don't like that falling
Feels like flying 'til the bone crush
Everybody wants you
But I don't like a gold rush
What must it be like
To grow up that beautiful
With your hair
Falling into place like dominoes
I see me
Padding across your wooden floors
With my Eagles t-shirt hanging from the door
At dinner parties
I call you out on your contrarian shit
And the coastal town we wandered 'round
Had nеver seen
A love as pure as it
And thеn it fades
Into the gray of my day-old tea
'cause it could never be
'cause I don't like
A gold rush, gold rush
I don't like
Anticipatin' my face in a red flush
I don't like that anyone
Would die to feel your touch
Everybody wants you
Everybody wonders
What it would be like to love you
Walk past, quick brush
I don't like slow motion
Double vision in rose blush
I don't like that falling
Feels like flying 'til the bone crush
Everybody wants you
But I don't like a gold rush
What must it be like
To grow up that beautiful
With your hair
Falling into place like dominoes
My mind turns your life into folklore
I can't dare to dream about you anymore
At dinner parties
I won't call you out
On your contrarian shit
And the coastal town we never found
Will never see
A love as pure as it
'cause it fades
Into the gray of my day-old tea
'cause it will never be
Gleaming, twinkling
Eyes like sinking ships on waters
So inviting, I almost jump in
