Fruit Bats Gold Past Life Lyrics

[Chorus]
You know you're never gonna feel as right
Than in your gold past life
A ship of paper on a sea of fire
Back to your gold past life

[Verse 1]
Helplessly staring at stagnant stars
What was this thing that took your spirit away?
Head on the bug splattered hood of your car
You pray

[Verse 2]
Breathlessly calling up your old love
Why did she have to take your essence from you?
Life's been rougher but lately it's pretty rough
For you

[Verse 3]
You used to dance in the night
With a girl you loved so much
You used to look her in the eyes as the nightbirds sang

[Chorus]
You know you're never gonna feel as right
Than in your gold past life
A ship of paper on a sea of fire
Back to your gold past life
I know you're never gonna feel as right Than in your gold past life
Back to your gold past life

[Verse 4]
Helplessly staring at a cumulus
What caused this flood that washed your courage away?
With your heart in a knot you cry for love and loss
For all of us

[Verse 5]
You used to stare into the void
With the love of your life
You used to whisper in her ear
"Little butterfly..."

[Chorus]
You know you're never gonna feel as right
Than in your gold past life
A ship of paper on a sea of fire
Back to your gold past life
You know you're never gonna feel as right
Than in your gold past life
A ship of paper on a sea of fire
Back to your gold past life
Back to your gold past life
Back to your gold past life
Back to your gold past life
