The State of Gold, Pt. 1 Songtext

von Matt Pond PA

I might have a drink to be myself
I hope nobody notices tonight what it takes to be real
To truly keep this lamppost standing

There's more than one way to live
There's more than one way to love
There's more than one way to give
As I stagger to the state of gold

I don't care if anyone carries me
I don't care if anyone drops me
Cause I know how to be alone
At least I've learned how to be alone

We might have to fight to get out
That's the way I picture almost every night below stars
Below the crown of heaven

There's more than one way to live
There's more than one way to love
There's more than one way to give
As I stumble to the state of gold

I don't care if anyone carries me
I don't care if anyone drops me
I don't care where the money's hid
Let the skin deep go deep diving in
All I care about is your sentences
And all the secrets you left down in them
There's so much we'll never know
All the vastness in the word hello

There's more than one way to live
There's more than one way to love
There's more than one way to give
As I stagger to the state of gold
There's more than one way to live
There's more than one way to love
There's more than one way to give
I won't stop climbing to the state of gold

In the ether above our reach is the state of gold worth believing in
In the ether above our reach is the state of gold worth believing in
