Streetlights on the 101 at half past nine I’m older than I

thought I’d be and doing fine The radio plays something from a

better year I turn it up and pretend that you’re still here

My friends are getting married,

buying houses now I show up to the party but I don’t

know how To shake the feeling that I missed a turning somewhere

back Like I’ve been living life a little off the track And

I don’t know what I’m waiting for

The years just move,

they don’t ask anymore

We were golden for a minute

Didn’t know it while we were in it Now I’m chasing something

shapeless down the hall

We were golden, we were reckless

Too distracted to protect it

Now I press my hands against the wall And feel

nothing at all I keep a photo on my phone I never

send Of somewhere warm I swore I’d get back to again The

to-do list just gets longer,

the summers shorter now Still convinced I’ll figure out the what and

how We were golden for a minute Didn’t know it while we

were in it Now I’m chasing something shapeless down the

hall Maybe it’s fine

Maybe I’m fine Maybe the best parts aren’t behind me Maybe I

just need some time We were golden

We were golden Didn’t we know?
