Lyrics of Gold by Olly Alexander (Years & Years)
verse
Am I defined
Oh, by the way they look at me?
Will I be tried?
Oh, will they take what I believe?
pre-chorus
I shiver on the one, I breathe for two
I give you what you want, I bend the truth
And everything's aflame, it's all aglow
I know that I can play that game
chorus
I'll fool them all (oh, like gold)
Let it lead me astray (oh, like gold)
Let it take me away
And if I turn my back and I leave it all
And I'll be running fast 'cause I can't be owned
Oh, like gold
verse
Do I belong?
Oh, I see it start to fade
Teach them a song
Oh, now I feel I've been betrayed
pre-chorus
I shiver on the one, I breathe for two
I give you what you want, I bend the truth
And everything's aflame, it's all aglow
I know that I can play that game
chorus
I'll fool them all (oh, like gold)
Let it lead me astray (oh, like gold)
Let it take me away
And if I turn my back and I leave it all
And I'll be running fast 'cause I can't be owned
Oh, like gold
bridge
Everything is brighter now
It shimmers like a stone
And everything surrounds you now
It's you and you alone
chorus
Oh, like gold
Oh, like gold
And if I turn my back and I leave it all
And I'll be running fast 'cause I can't be owned
Oh, like gold
outro
(Oh, like gold) I'm gonna be the one who sets it all alight
And I'm gonna be the one who sets it all alight
(Oh, like gold) I'm gonna be the one who sets it all alight
And I'm gonna be the one who sets it all alight
Writer(s): Thomas Edward Percy Hull, Michael Thomas Goldsworthy, Resul Emre Turkmen, Oliver Alexander Thornton, Mark Stuart Ralph
