Body Gold Lyrics
[Verse 1: Josephine Vander Gucht & Anthony West]
Before you came round, my heart would never beat much faster
Before you came round, I was ready to slow down
Before you came round, I was heading for a small disaster
Before you came round, I was ready to blow me down
[Chorus: Josephine Vander Gucht & Anthony West]
Let it go, paint my body gold
Take our bodies higher and higher and higher
We can go until the morning glow
We can go higher and higher and higher
[Verse 2: Josephine Vander Gucht & Anthony West]
Before I was found, I felt like I could drain the ocean
Before I was found, I didn't wanna breathe out
Now my soul beats a sound, loud enough to quiet the thunder
A love with no doubt, and now I'm never gonna slow down
Never gonna slow down
[Chorus: Josephine Vander Gucht & Anthony West]
Let it go, paint my body gold
Take our bodies higher and higher and higher
We can go until the morning glow
We can go higher and higher and higher
Let it go, paint my body gold
We can go until the morning glow
We can go higher and higher and higher
[Bridge: Josephine Vander Gucht & Anthony West]
And we will walk with our feet on the ground
And we will talk with our head in the clouds
And we will walk with our feet on the ground
And we will talk with our head in the clouds
And we will walk with our feet on the ground
And we will talk with our head in the clouds
And we will walk with our feet on the ground
On the ground, on the ground, on the ground
[Chorus: Josephine Vander Gucht & Anthony West]
Let it go, paint my body gold
Take our bodies higher and higher and higher
We can go until the morning glow
We can go higher and higher and higher
Let it go, paint my body gold
We can go until the morning glow
We can go higher and higher and higher
[Outro: Josephine Vander Gucht & Anthony West]
(And we will walk with our feet on the ground)
Let it go, paint my body gold
(And we will talk with our head in the clouds)
Take our bodies higher and higher and higher
(And we will walk with our feet on the ground)
We can go until the morning glow
(And we will talk)
We can go higher and higher and higher
