lyrics

Can I see you at the end of the races
I won't let the distance disagree
Pen it all on a golden piece
Of everything that we have done now

When I see you at the end of the races
There will never be enough to say
We can talk of how the birds have flown south
The air's too cold, it turns their skin inside out

But don't paint over this golden summer
Don't paint over this golden summer
Don't paint over this golden summer
Don't paint over this golden summer
Don't paint over the golden

Don't come around
You're the king with the hawthorne crown

Don't paint over this golden summer
Don't paint over this golden summer
Don't paint over this golden summer

I feel like I'm living in a movie scene
