Hannah has spoken about the song and said that it was inspired by her marriage with Tim, the band’s bass player:
So much of the feeling of this song is probably from our marriage. We’ve been married two years. When you start sharing all of your stuff, you start seeing the gold but you also start se...
[Verse 1]
If you showed me your body, do you think that I'd like it?
Would you stand up there proudly?
Would you feel like you're dying?
I don't care if your jeans don't fit that well
[Chorus]
So don't be hiding
I am not that bothered by the stuff you're fighting
For no other reason that it makes it more exciting
You don't have to sell it, I am sold
So give me all your garbage and your gold
[Verse 2]
If I opened your wallet, what would I discover?
Are you cashed up or struggling with a hole in your pocket?
If it's bad then I relate
You should see the junk I spend my money on
[Chorus]
So don't be hiding
I am not that bothered by the stuff you're fighting
For no other reason that it makes it more exciting
You don't have to sell it, I am sold
So give me all your garbage and your gold
Don't be hiding
I am not that bothered by the stuff you're fighting
For no other reason that it makes it more exciting
You don't have to sell it, I am sold
So give me all your garbage and your gold
[Bridge]
So don't think twice, I'm not that nice
It's just the way I feel for you and any other
[Chorus]
Don't be hiding
I am not that bothered by the stuff you're fighting
For no other reason that it makes it more exciting
You don't have to sell it, I am sold
So give me all your garbage and your gold
