[Verse 1] The sand is still holding the heat of the day While the orange horizon ... just melts away Your hand in my hand ... a stranger’s embrace But I’m searching for ghosts ... in your beautiful face The palms are swaying ... a slow-motion dance I’m caught in the middle ... of this sudden romance. [Pre-Chorus] The air smells of jasmine ... and salt from the deep (from the deep) But I have these promises ... I’m failing to keep Everything’s perfect ... so why can’t I sleep? [Chorus] Golden doubt ... under a velvet sky The truth is a whisper ... the rest is a lie You’re the fire I need ... in this tropical night (Female harmonies: in this tropical night...) But is it a healing ... or just a new light? Golden doubt ... holding me tight. [Verse 2] Music is drifting ... from a bar down the beach The life I once wanted ... is now in my reach You lean in closer ... your breath on my skin But I’m wondering where ... does the healing begin? The waves are so quiet ... they don't make a sound While my old world is crashing ... all over the ground. [Bridge] Is it wrong to be happy ... in a place like this? To trade all my sorrow ... for a stranger’s kiss? The glow is so bright ... but I’m lost in the mist. [Chorus] Golden doubt ... under a velvet sky The truth is a whisper ... the rest is a lie You’re the fire I need ... in this tropical night But is it a healing ... or just a new light? Golden doubt ... holding me tight. [Chorus] Golden doubt ... under a velvet sky The truth is a whisper ... the rest is a lie You’re the fire I need ... in this tropical night Golden doubt ... holding me tight. [Outro] (Holding me tight...) (Under the orange sky...) Orange and gold ... orange and gold. Should I stay ... or let go?
