Absolute Gold

You can't live in the future
Without paying for the past
One foot in front of the other
But don't try to go too fast

You can't see the big picture
By looking at it close
Staring back at the mirror
You're looking at a ghost

You say you finally wanna feel alive
I'm sold
You wanna be something you can't describe
I know
You wanna shut the past out into a night
That's cold
You're absolute gold

The days are short
There's too much to do
Can't get it all out of the way
But when it's done
You will be to
And then you're gonna have to repay

You say you finally wanna feel alive
I'm sold
You wanna be something you can't describe
I know
You wanna shut the past out into a night
That's cold
You're absolute gold

All that we've wanted
And all that we believed
It's keeping everyone away
Keeping everyone at bay
It's not what we need
It's not the same what changes in your heart

You say you finally wanna feel alive
I'm sold
You wanna be something you can't describe
I know
You wanna shut the past out into a night
That's cold
You're absolute gold
