Ellie Goulding Black & Gold Lyrics

If a fish swam out of the ocean, grew legs and started
walking
And the apes climbed out from the trees, and grew tall
and started talking
And the stars fall out of the sky, and my tears rolled
into the ocean
Now I'm looking for a reason why, you set my world into
motion

'Cause if you're not really here, then the stars don't
even matter
Now I feel too tall, we all fear
But it's all just a bunch of matter
'Cause if you're not really here, then I don't want to
be either
I want be next to you
Black and gold, black and gold, black gold

I looked up into the night sky and see I saw an eye staring back
And all around these golden beacons I see nothing but
black
I feel a wave of something beyond though, I don't see
what I can feel
If vision is the only validation, then most of my life
isn't real

'Cause if you're not really here, then the stars don't
even matter
Now I feel too tall, we all fear
But it's all just a bunch of matter
'Cause if you're not really here, then I don't want to
be either
I want be next to you
Black and gold, black and gold, black gold

I want to be next to you
