It was golden looking back

Some kind of heaven in my hands

For so long

And I didn't realize

So try 'til your dying breath

So know when it's golden and

Well, I miss talking late at night

Getting drunk on cheap red wine
Bm                    F#m
Yeah, we were so close
Bm         Em7           A
So now I'm trying not to waste

The untamed seconds of the day

'Cause I know
