GOLDEN ON THE OUTSIDE Sunlight cutting through the afternoon, everybody smiling without a reason to, quick little jokes flying left and right, someone says something and the whole place lights. No one's trying to make a moment happen, it just arrives when nobody's asking, different opinions, different points of view, somehow the mix makes the whole thing move. Golden on the outside, easy on the mind, a little bit of laughter at exactly the right time. Golden on the outside, nothing out of line, if this is where we're at tonight, I'm perfectly fine. Quick reply, clever comeback, three new thoughts and a subject switch, someone's halfway through explaining, someone's laughing at the smallest bit. Eyes meet, eyebrows rise, everybody knows without a word, one tiny misunderstanding becomes the funniest thing we've heard. Bright faces, loose expressions, nothing polished, nothing planned, everybody bringing something different, still it somehow fits the hands. Golden on the outside, easy on the mind, a little bit of laughter at exactly the right time. Golden on the outside, nothing out of line, if this is where we're at tonight, I'm perfectly fine. Fast thoughts, quick changes, little phrases packed together, one idea bends around another, then we're laughing altogether. No big reason, no conclusion, just a collection of good confusion, sometimes life gets better when nobody tries to organise it. Golden on the outside, easy on the mind, a little bit of laughter at exactly the right time. Golden on the outside, nothing out of line, if this is where we're at tonight, I'm perfectly fine. Golden light, easy smiles, stay a little longer, forget the miles.
