Men have tried for centuries

To set us free

Through alchemy

Stirring metals in the heat

To create the key

To our immortality

Pouring all their greatest hope

Under the microscope

Searching for homemade gold

Some things are to good to be true

Even the scientists knew

That soon they'd be gone too

Like me and you

It's okay to let go

You gave it all you had

And you know time and gold

Were never meant to last

And when they fade some day

We're left with who we loved along the way

If a ripple in time

Let you rewind

Who would you go find

If you were able

They'd pull up a seat

Have something good to eat

Tell me who you'd like to see at your table

Waves spread out across the beach

And at the edge of their reach

You're walking here with me

I don't care what scientists say

Long past the edges of space

I'll recognise your face

And it's okay to let go

You gave it all you had

And you know time and gold

Were never meant to last

And when they fade some day

We're left with who we loved along the way

We're left with who we loved along the way
