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?
