lyrics

The first time I seen her
I was a believer
She made old eyes see
Knew I had to reach her
Knew I couldn’t keep her
Knew she had to fly home free

But that was old and this is new
And that was her and this is you
And nothing you could ever do
Could keep me back from loving you

I really wanna make you mine
I’m inclined to waste my time
Chasing treasure that I’ll never find
If this is real love show me a sign
I really wanna make you mine
I’m inclined to lose my mind
Chasing treasure that I’ll never find
All Gold Don’t Shine

The second time I had her
Nothing else mattered
She became all that I craved
I was captured
A slave to the master
Another chapter trapped on the page

But that was then and this is now
And that was when and this is how
We let it in and let it out
And if you ever had a doubt

HOOK

The last time I left her
I Couldn’t take the pressure
You know when the weight of the world
Is coming down to get ya
Wish I never met ya
Now you’ll be somebody’s girl

But that’s alright I’m OK
It’s only dying anyway
As long as I can find a way
To shine unto a brighter day
