[Verse 1] Found your coat in the back of the closet Ticket stubs in the fraying seam Coffee stains on a half-folded postcard You once wrote my name like a dream [Chorus] We’re patching the golden memories Stitch by stitch through the rips and the years Holding the threads of our faded stories Till the color comes back through the tears If the past was a quilt we tore at the edges Lay it out in the soft evening breeze With your hand in mine Under all of these sketches We’re patching the golden memories [Verse 2] Polaroids with the corners curling Sunburn smiles Crooked cap on your head We laugh at the clothes At the bad hair choices And the things that we left unsaid [Chorus] We’re patching the golden memories Stitch by stitch through the rips and the years Holding the threads of our faded stories Till the color comes back through the tears If the past was a quilt we tore at the edges Lay it out in the soft evening breeze With your hand in mine Under all of these sketches We’re patching the golden memories [Bridge] Maybe we don’t get a second first time But we get this moment This mending line Every loose end Every worn-out scene Pulled together in you and me [Chorus] We’re patching the golden memories Stitch by stitch through the rips and the years Holding the threads of our faded stories Till the color comes back through the tears If the past was a quilt we tore at the edges Lay it out in the soft evening breeze With your hand in mine Under all of these sketches We’re patching the golden memories We’re patching the golden memories
