Rust and Gold

Verse 1

Gas

Five bucks

Empty packs on the dash

Ripping through the gravel lot

Spinning rubber till the steel cords show

Living fast

Living cheap

Found a rhythm in the concrete heat

Broken glass

Under boots

Summer sun burning through our suits

We had nothing but the keys

We were gods among the trees

Chorus

Give it back to me

Give it back to me

Give it back to me

The gold in the dirt

The blood on the shirt

Give it back to me

Give it back to me

Verse 2

No sleep

No plans

Grease staining both my hands

Crank the volume till the speakers blow

Nothing mattered but the way we used to go

Old days

Wild ways

Lost inside a purple haze

Ten deep in a rusted van

Acting like we had a master plan

Chasing ghosts

Chasing highs

Underneath those open skies

Nothing stayed

Nothing lasts

Nothing matters but the heavy past

Chorus

Give it back to me

Give it back to me

Give it back to me

The gold in the dirt

The blood on the shirt

Give it back to me

Give it back to me

Bridge

Run it back

Bring it back

Fade to black

I remember the rain

I remember the pain

I remember the name

It was ours

It was pure

It was real

Verse 3

Cold

Hard

Concrete yard

Knuckles bruised and feeling scarred

Walking miles just to find a spark

Hiding out until the park got dark

Stupid kids

Stupid dreams

Ripping open all the seams

Simple times

Simple crimes

Dropping all our lucky dimes

Gone now

Right now

Show me how

Chorus

Give it back to me

Give it back to me

Give it back to me

The gold in the dirt

The blood on the shirt

Give it back to me

Give it back to me

Outro

The weight of it

The state of it

The fate of it

Just a memory

Just a memory

Just a memory

Gone
