Lager Door
[Verse 1]
Oh, sick
Morning is apocalyptic
And you miss when all you wanted was love from a distance
It tugs and tears until the world is bare
The naked day parades, I held you in a strange place
And your appreciation laying like the sun across my face
Raw revelation in split seconds of grace
[Chorus]
And if those were days of gold
At the time, we just didn't know
Walked around like bashful ghosts
Sweat all summer under my famous green raincoat
Stay up late, watch the news
Practice weird ironic dance moves
If those were days of gold, no onе told me and you
[Verse 2]
Do you think of me
As a set of stonе formations? A constellation?
Something held in space unchanging?
A distant beacon? A blister bleeding?
Dry dirt receiving thirstily swelling in heat like Mercury?
A time and a place that you're glad that you caught
Till it constrains the perspective on a friendship you mourn, still
[Chorus]
If those were days of gold
At the time, we didn't know
Waiting for your wings to grow
You were gonna fly all the way to Tokyo
Nothing stops you, nothing scares you
I try my best to meet you there
If those were days of gold, no, we didn't care
[Verse 3]
With your touch, I have become obsessed
My head is delicate
From the top of the stairs, I can still smell the sweat
We are miraculous freak accidents, we are blessed
Nothing matters, think about sex (Yes)
There's a chaos that only comes to every living thing once
Indifferent to your unmade connections
Then, in a second, is gone
[Chorus]
And if those were days of gold
At the time, we didn't know
What crystallized in brittle snow was always gonna
Melt back in to the heat and smoke
And me, I pray out loud
It's basically all I do now
Those were days of gold, I just found out
