Ellise Huston - Gold

I hate the houses that dot your street
They all look the same
That terrifies me
Something about symmetry never knowing
If I'd fit into that life
Feels like a fever dream

But I'm gonna keep on pretending
That you took the long way home
Though I'd never know
Cause I'm bad with directions
And got distracted when you looked over
But acted like I didn't
Keep on talking
Don't remember what I said but
I remember you were laughing

You told me I was easy to talk to
Don't you know how nervous I was around you
Just wanna be around you

But my empty bed is starting to feel very cold
And you're the only thing I think of when I'm alone
Told my roommate that I thought I had this handled
But I clearly don't
Sometimes the perfect person for you
Isn't who you're perfect for
And I am well aware that I'm so far from being yours
But even as I seem to falter at every foothold
You treat me like gold

And I've never felt that before

And I'm stuck in my own fantasies of
You and I going away just running
When I was far did you dream of me
Or is that too far-fetched to believe

I've always been unlucky in love
I reach for things too far from my touch
When am I gonna learn to forfeit
The stars that I tend to orbit

I am well aware that I'm a mess
But you told me I was good and made me wanna believe it

But my empty bed is starting to feel very cold
And you're the only thing I think of when I'm alone
Told my roommate that I thought I had this handled
But I clearly don't
Sometimes the perfect person for you
Isn't who you're perfect for
And I am well aware that I'm so far from being yours
But even as I falter at every foothold
You treat me like gold

And I've never felt that before
