[Intro]

Gleaming, twinkling

Eyes like sinking ships on waters

So inviting, I almost jump in

[Chorus]

I don't like a gold rush, gold rush

I don't like anticipatin' my face in a red flush

I don't like that anyone would die to feel your touch

Everybody wants you

Everybody wonders what it would be like to love you

Walk past, quick brush

I don't like slow motion, double vision in rose blush

I don't like that falling feels like flying 'til the bone crush

Everybody wants you but I don't like a gold rush

[Verse 1]

What must it be like to grow up that beautiful?

With your hair falling into place like dominoes

I see me padding across your wooden floors

With my Eagles t-shirt hanging from the door

At dinner party, I call you out on your contrarian shit

And the Coastal town we wondered 'round had never seen a love as pure as it

And then it fades into the gray of my day-old tea

'cause it could never be

[Chorus]

'Cause I don't like a gold rush, gold rush

I don't like anticipatin' my face in a red flush

I don't like that anyone would die to feel your touch

Everybody wants you

Everybody wonders what it would be like to love you

Walk past, quick brush

I don't like slow motion, double vision in rose blush

I don't like that falling feels like flying 'til the bone crush

Everybody wants you

But I don't like a gold rush

[Verse 2]

What must it be like to grow up that beautiful?

With your hair falling into place like dominoes

My mind turns your life into folklore

I can't dare to dream about you anymore

At dinner parties, I call you out on your contrarian shit

And the coastal town we wandered 'round had nеver seen a love as pure as it

And thеn it fades into the gray of my day-old tea

'cause it could never be

[Outro]

Gleaming, twinkling

Eyes like sinking ships on waters

So inviting, I almost jump in
