Intro] (Soft vinyl crackle) Yeah... Smoke and gold... You know... The funny thing is... The city never changed. I did. [Verse 1] Could you see where my head was at when you found me? Laughing with my friends but nobody around me Whole world moving, I was standing still Carrying old storms I never learned to feel Same bus routes Same cracked roads Same headphones Same winter coat Same sunset dropping behind those trains But everything looked grey through the pain Then you showed up Not dramatic Not some movie scene Not magic Just one conversation that lasted till three And somehow you saw something still alive in me The first time I laughed without forcing it You didn't even notice But I did [Pre-Chorus] Windows down July breeze Your hand dancing out beside me Streetlights turning into stars Somehow home don't feel so far [Chorus] We were smoke and gold Half lost, half glowing Trying to find our way home Without even knowing You turned my grey skies Into long summer nights Now the whole city shines In a different light Same old streets Same old town But the weight don't hit the same now We were smoke and gold Smoke and gold And somehow we figured it out [Verse 2] Missed our exit twice You were telling that story About your first job And the coffee you spilled that morning We laughed so hard I had to pull the car aside And for a minute Nothing hurt inside Rain hit the windshield Neon hit the glass Watching little reflections of our future pass No rich No famous No perfect plan Just two tired hearts trying to understand And maybe that's enough Maybe always was Maybe love ain't fireworks Maybe love just stays When the hard days come And the world gets loud It's knowing somebody still wants you around [Pre-Chorus] Windows down City gold Every little thing feels beautiful Funny how the view changed overnight Maybe it was you Maybe it was life [Chorus] We were smoke and gold Half lost, half glowing Trying to find our way home Without even knowing You turned my grey skies Into long summer nights Now the whole city shines In a different light Same old streets Same old town But the weight don't hit the same now We were smoke and gold Smoke and gold And somehow we figured it out [Bridge] (Drums drop away) The weird thing is... You never tried to fix me Never told me who to be Never carried all my hurt Never promised life would work You just stayed When staying would've been easier not to You just stayed And I think that's what changed everything [Final Chorus] We were smoke and gold Half lost, half glowing Trying to find our way home Without even knowing You turned my grey skies Into long summer nights Now the whole city shines In a different light Hands out the window Singing way too loud Looking at the stars Like they belong to us now We were smoke and gold Smoke and gold And somehow we figured it out [Outro] (Soft guitar) Same city... Different eyes... Same roads... Different life... Could you see where my head was at when you found me? Yeah... You found me. (Fade into vinyl crackle)
