Gold Lyrics by James Marriott

Bitter Tongues

2021

[Intro]
(Woohoo!)

[Verse 1]
Can you be bored at twenty-four?
I'm sick to the bone of wanting more
Throw a paper aeroplane and watch it fall
Have I waited too long again?
I'm losing sight of the same friend
I'll be back where I was, I just don't know when

[Pre-Chorus]
So won't you tell me when you start?
And I'll promise I won't let you go too far
Won't you learn your lines and do your part?
What's it going to be?
What's it going to be?

[Chorus]
(Woohoo!)
When you feel like summer has come and gone
And you've still not found the one
(Woohoo!) Oh
You took too long
The day is done
(Woohoo!)
When there's only a couple hours of sun
Will you stay or try to run?
(Woohoo!) No
You played the game
You've never won
(Woohoo!)

[Verse 2]
With every refrain you're getting old
When you let go of the reins they're in control
How long has it been since you struck gold?

[Pre-Chorus]
So won't you tell me when you start
And I'll promise I won't let you go too far
Won't you learn your lines and do your part?
What's it going to be?
What's it going to be?
So won't you rip all of your lies apart?
And I'll promise I won't let you lose your heart
Won't ya hurry up and play your card?
What's it going to be?
What's it going to be?

[Bridge]
When you feel like summer has come and gone
And you've still not found the one
Oh, you took too long
The day is done
(Woohoo!)

[Chorus]
When there's only a couple hours of sun
Will you stay or try to run?
(Woohoo!) No
You played the game
You've never won
(Woohoo!)

[Outro]
You silence them all
Just remember which fragment you keep them in
Your silence is gold
When you're done, you're done
Oh (Woohoo!)
You silence them all
Just remember which fragment you keep them in
Your silence is gold
When you're done, you're done
No (Woohoo!)
