You peer through my window
You shine on me like a halo
You're meant for me, I can say so
Too soon to call I can tell though
You've been here for light years
You calm my nerves and dry my tears
You radiate over my skin
My cocoa brown, my melanin
How'd you get so golden darling
I think we could grow old
Never gonna go cold
How'd you get so warm, inviting
I think we could grow old
Never gonna go
Oh, oh, oh
It never gets old
You always stay gold, gold
Oh, oh, oh
It never gets old
You always stay gold, gold
You're my silver lining
There's more denying
Never thought we'd levеl up
We needed more rеfining
Silver turned gold
And I took all of my winter off
You broke all these walls
Now I'm shining like straight cocoa melanin
Glow
You crash right through my storm
You light me up like a light bulb (wow)
You give me love when I get worn (wow)
You stitch my sleeve when my heart’s torn
I was really guarded right, shaka zulu type
It's like when you're heart’s been broken
You're less open to butterflies
Breath sam
You give all this love time, you receive some
When I'm feeling over the moon, assume I'm in love
Friend, I'm rid of the days
I blocked my love cause I'm afraid that I got rid of the cage
That locked my heart but now well love can hurt you bad
And I know it's underrated but I think I see the sun
It's looking golden like we stated, I'm chill
And he's a friend that I can chill with
There's no competition when there's someone you can heal with
Deal with all my shadow shallow bits is still with me
And he treat me like a queen and I treat him like a king
How'd you get so golden darling
I think we could grow old
Never gonna go cold
How'd you get so warm, inviting
I think we could grow old
Never gonna go
Oh, oh, oh
It never gets old
You always stay gold, gold
Oh, oh, oh
It never gets old
You always stay gold, gold
Oh, oh, oh
It never gets old
You always stay gold, gold
Oh, oh, oh
It never gets old
You always stay gold
Gold was written by 18YOMAN & Sampa The Great & Kylie Chirunga.
Gold was produced by 18YOMAN.
I was hanging with someone I really loved… and I wrote the first half off the top of my head.
It may seem like a different vibe to what I usually put out but I’ve grown accustomed to surprising people with the range I’m able to express myself in. It was one of the easiest writing processes for me…...
