[Verse 1] Found a folder on my phone Colors brighter than they'd ever be Before the world got heavy Back when you still knew me [Pre-Chorus] Bottle flips and filter glows Dancing till the morning shows We didn't know we were standing In the last of the light rows [Chorus] Take me back to when we were golden When the only filter was the sun Take me back to when we were golden Before we knew what we'd become Back when we were still young When we were golden [Verse 2] The trends came fast but easy Every challenge felt like play Before the algorithms Started stealing every day [Pre-Chorus] Late nights that lasted forever Hearts that swore they'd beat together Didn't know the storm was coming Didn't check the weather [Chorus] Take me back to when we were golden When the only filter was the sun Take me back to when we were golden Before we knew what we'd become Back when we were still young When we were golden [Bridge] [vocal interplay, tender] (Maybe we remember wrong) Maybe we were just as lost (But the glow was somehow brighter) Worth whatever that it cost (I scroll back through the photos) Looking for the person that I was [Final Chorus] [building, bittersweet acceptance] Can't go back to when we were golden But I carry it inside Can't go back to when we were golden Still I hold the flame alive Keep the memory, survive When we were golden [Outro] [fading, harmonies] Golden... golden... We were so golden...
