Black and Gold Lyrics - Ellie Goulding

1 If a fish swam out of the ocean, grew legs and they started walking

2 And the apes climbed down from the trees, and grew tall and they started talking

3 And the stars fell out of the sky, and my tears rolled into the ocean

4 Now I'm looking for a reason why you even set my world into motion

5 'Cause if you're not really here, then the stars don't even matter

6 Now I'm filled to the top with fear

7 But it's all just a bunch of matter

8 'Cause if you're not really here, then I don't want to be either

9 I want be next to you

10 Black and gold, black and gold, black gold

11 I looked up into the night sky and see a thousand eyes staring back

12 And all around these golden beacons I see nothing but black

13 I feel a wave of something beyond them, I don't see what I can feel

14 If vision is the only validation, then most of my life isn't real

15 'Cause if you're not really here, then the stars don't even matter

16 Now I'm filled to the top with fear

17 But it's all just a bunch of matter

18 'Cause if you're not really here, then I don't want to be either

19 I want be next to you

20 Black and gold, black and gold, black gold

21 I want to be next to you

22 'Cause if you're not really here, then the stars don't even matter

23 Now I'm filled to the top with fear

24 But it's all just a bunch of matter

25 'Cause if you're not really here, then I don't want to be either

26 I want be next to you

27 Black and gold, black and gold, black and gold
