Ella Eyre - Black & Gold lyrics

rate me

If the fish swam out of the ocean

And grew legs and they started walking

And the apes climbed out from the trees

And grew tall and they started talking

And the stars fall out of the sky

And my tears rolled into the ocean

And now I’m looking for a reason why

You’d even set my world into motion

‘Cause if you’re not really there

Then the stars don’t even matter

Now I fell to the top and feel

And it’s all just a bunch of matter

‘Cause if you’re not really there

Then I don’t want to be either

I want to be next to you

Black and gold, black and gold, black and gold

And I looked up into the night sky

I see a thousand eyes staring back

And all around these golden beacons

I see nothing but black

I feel the weight of something beyond them

I don’t see what I can feel

If vision is the only validation

Then most of my life isn’t real

‘Cause if you’re not really there

Then the stars don’t even matter

Now I fell to the top and feel

And it’s all just a bunch of matter

‘Cause if you’re not really there

Then I don’t want to be either

I want to be next to you

Black and gold, black and gold, black and gold

I want to be next to you

Black and gold

‘Cause if you’re not even here

Then I don’t want to be either

I want to be next to you

Black and gold, black and gold, black and gold
