(Verse 1)
There’s a Polaroid tucked in the mirror frame
A sun-drenched afternoon, before the rain.
Your laughter’s hanging in the kitchen air
Like a perfume that I can’t help but wear.
We were a summer high, a honey-coated dream
Now I’m just tearing at the golden seam.
(Pre-Chorus)
I reach for the light, but it slips through my grip
Just a memory on the tip of my lip.
(Chorus)
Now I’m living in golden ghost echoes
Chasing the shimmer everywhere you go.
A haunted glow in the hallway at night
Of a love that was blinding, a love that was right.
You’re a beautiful flicker, a sunset in reverse
The blessing I lost, and the beautiful curse.
Yeah, I’m just hearing golden ghost echoes.
(Verse 2)
The record’s spinning but the needle’s worn
To the same old song since the day we were torn.
I see your shadow in the passenger seat
Every time I’m driving down our street.
They say the gold will eventually fade to gray
But the shine of you just won't go away.
(Bridge)
Stay for a second, stay for a breath
Don’t leave me here in this digital death.
You’re the warmth on my skin when the window is closed
The only version of me that you ever chose.
(Final Chorus)
Now I’m living in golden ghost echoes
Chasing the shimmer everywhere you go.
A haunted glow in the hallway at night
Of a love that was blinding, a love that was right.
You’re a beautiful flicker, a sunset in reverse
The blessing I lost, and the beautiful curse.
Yeah, I’m just hearing golden ghost echoes.
(Outro)
Still glowing...
Still calling...
In the amber, in the light...
You’re still mine tonight.
