Heavy With Gold

Verse 1

Silver steam

Rising from the ceramic rim

Early

Very early

Sunlight hits the kitchen tiles

I watch the dust motes drift

Caught in the yellow heat

Waiting for the kettle scream

Chorus

Every little thing

It feels heavy with gold

It feels heavy with gold

When I think of you

When I think of you

Everything is new

Verse 2

Stale bread

Plastic bags clicking together

Checking the list

Twice

The man behind the counter nods

I pick out the red apples

Hard skins

Sweet juice

I walk home through the alley

Past the blue hydrangeas

Deep breath

Deep peace

The petals smell like the earth after a storm

Chorus

Every little thing

It feels heavy with gold

It feels heavy with gold

When I think of you

When I think of you

Everything is new

Bridge

Static on the screen

Blue light on the ceiling

I sweep the crumbs away

Under the rug

Under the table

Under the chair

Wooden pins on the wire

Wet denim

Heavy socks

Drying in the breeze

Verse 3

Sudden thunder

Streetlamps flickering on

I am soaked

Barefoot on the black pavement

Twirling

Spinning

Laughing at the clouds

Water in my eyes

Water in my shoes

The world is a glass jar

And we are safe inside

Chorus

Every little thing

It feels heavy with gold

It feels heavy with gold

When I think of you

When I think of you

Everything is new

Outro

Just the small stuff

Just the daily grind

Golden

So golden

With you

With you
