Track Insight / Lyrics
The radiator taps on the frosted glass
A taxi idles under the yellow lamp
I know every turn where the winter bites
I've carried a thousand cold, sleepless nights
Your key slips beneath a cardboard door
The kettle clicks, then the kettle quiets
I watch you rehearse how you'll say no
And fold your worries into tiny coats
I drift past the castle on my blue wall
The room turns violet when daylight falls
A wooden castle trembles with the filter
While cardboard cities crumble into glitter
Little gold, watch the room rearrange
See the pictures bend and the colors change
Little gold, keep your circles going
There's still a whole world underneath the floor
A dime in the saucer catches the ceiling
Your laughter comes soft through a broken sleeve
I count every breath that you try to hide
While three o'clock circles the street outside
You pack two sweaters and a paper cup
The elevator sighs as the doors snap shut
I blow through the filter, a soft command
Keep the light on for me when you can
Little gold, watch the room rearrange
See the pictures bend and the colors change
Little gold, keep your circles going
There's still a whole world underneath the floor
The bricks keep the shape of your father's hand
A suitcase is waiting beside the band
I swim past the windows, the street, the sea
One quiet stranger is listening to me
The room stands familiar, but nothing stays
Your favorite chair holds a different haze
I flash at the glass and you turn around
Two quiet eyes in a sea without sound
Little gold, watch the whole world rearrange
See the pictures bend and the colors change
Little gold, keep your circles going
There's still a whole world underneath the floor
Little gold, when the evening is deep
Keep one small light where the memories sleep
Little gold, when the last box is gone
Turn around, turn around
You're not alone
The taxi dissolves in a river of rain
The little gold circles the glass once again
A lamp hums low in an empty room
One quiet stranger shines like a lantern
