Jake Baxter - Gold Lyrics

I spend every waking minute
With thoughts and melodies
Circling, wandering
But never quite settling
It's nomadic motivation
I just can't hold down
I needed inspiration
Something to turn me around

Because all I can taste are the cigarettes
On her lips all I want to do is feel
Time is not your ally
All it does is take away
I raise the white flag
No surrender is a myth
Emotions always betray me and
This wasn't part of the plan

Now I'm sitting at the window
Listening to the rain
Lashing at the glass
With the sound a freight train
I walk outside and it hits me
Like a bullet to the face
A moment of utter clarity
That disappeared without a trace

Because all I can taste are the cigarettes
On her lips all I want to do is feel
Time is not your ally
All it does is take away
I raise the white flag
No surrender is a myth
Emotions always betray me and
This wasn't part of the plan

I've been living off a diet
Of sleeping pills and menthol
The gaps in my armour start to show
And I hope that one day you're happy
That you find everything you're looking for
And if there is a God
Then I hope that He bears witness

Because all I can taste are the cigarettes
On her lips all I want to do is feel
Time is not your ally
All it does is take away
I raise the white flag
No surrender is a myth
Emotions always betray me and
This wasn't part of the plan

This wasn't part of my plan
This wasn't part of your plan
This wasn't part of our plan
This wasn't part of my plan
