Golden Standard

[Verse 1]
Nod my head
Close my eyes
Shift the weight from side to side:
I’m dreaming of a different life
One where I’m not so tired, and we’ve got some money
I play the big clubs
You’re finally someone
Maybe then the river’s flow will pass our way?

[Verse 2]
A chord and now I’m back in a crowd made up of bands
Clapping for a song I can’t even tell you how it went
Tonight’s got me so tired/ feels never ending:
“Fake it ‘til you make it” isn’t worth all this pretending

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I’m alive in the moment. I’ll own it. I’m free!
Now it’s my turn to play

[Chorus]
I’m live from the far-away
Nod the head
Close the eyes
Shift the weight from side to side

They keep clapping, I’ll keep dreaming
One day soon the river’s flow will pass our way
I can see it now:
Me on the bank
Waving, calling
“Come on baby, it’s our turn to swim/the water’s rushing by we just have to jump in.”
