Gold Sounds 3am

(Brooklyn, New York
3:17 am
It's cold
And I miss you)

Your apartment is on my right
Old movie, turn it on
Black and white
Through your window I see a light
Changes from red to green to blue
But the rain obscures the view
I said a-hey hey hey

I tie my shadow to my feet
And step outside
I've got to make it home
Before the morning light

I said a-hey hey hey

There's no way around it
I've got to walk past your apartment
There's no way around it
I'm close to the house
But far from home

Check the time, it's almost 3
Your haunted castle is approaching me
No detour can set me free
In the light of the day
I can push you away
But the nighttime arrives
And suddenly I'm petrified baby, come on

A night or two ago
I thought I'd made it safe
But I closed the door
And felt your aura just the same
Why can't you be on your way?

No way around it
I've got to walk past your apartment
There's no way around it
I'm close to the house
But far from home

Talk to me babe
