FIRST AID KIT
"Stay Gold"
(Johanna Soderberg / Klara Soderberg)

The sun shone high, those few summer days
Left us in a soft, wide-eyed haze
It shone like gold, it shone like gold

But just as the moon, it shall stray
So dawn goes down today
No gold can stay, no gold can stay

What if our hard work ends in despair?
What if the road won't take me there?
Oh, I wish for once, it could stay gold

What if to love and be loved is not enough?
What if I fall and can't bear to get up?
Oh, I wish for once, it could stay gold
It could stay gold, gold

We're on our way through rugged land
Top of that mountain, we wanted to stand
With hearts of gold, with hearts of gold

But there is only forward, no other way
Tomorrow is your hope at the end of the day
And gold turns gray, and gold turns gray

What if our hard work ends in despair?
What if the road won't take me there?
Oh, I wish for once, it could stay gold

What if to love and be loved is not enough?
What if I fall and can't bear to get up?
Oh, I wish for once, it could stay gold
It could stay gold, gold

All of my dreams, they fall and form a bridge
Of memories where I can get back
All of my dreams, they fall and form a bridge
Of memories where I can get back
To you, you

What if our hard work ends in despair?
What if the road won't take me there?
Oh, I wish for once, it could stay gold

What if to love and be loved is not enough?
What if I fall and can't bear to get up?
Oh, I wish for once, it could stay gold
It could stay gold, gold
It could stay gold, gold
Stay gold
