If the fish swam out of the ocean And grew legs and they started walking And the apes climbed down from the trees And grew tall and they started talking And the stars fell out of the sky And my tears rolled into the ocean And now I'm looking for a reason why You even set my world into motion 'Cause if you're not really here Then the stars don't even matter Now I'm filled to the top with fear That it's all just a bunch of matter 'Cause if you're not really here Then I don't wanna be either I wanna be next to you Black and gold, black and gold, black and gold I look up into the night sky I see a thousand eyes staring back And all around these golden beacons I see nothing but black I feel the weight of something beyond them 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'm filled to the top with fear That it's all just a bunch of matter 'Cause if you're not really here Then I don't wanna be either I wanna be next to you Black and gold, black and gold, black and gold (Black and gold, black and gold, black and gold) Black and gold, black and gold, black and gold (oh, oh) 'Cause if you're not really here Then the stars don't even matter Now I'm filled to the top with fear That it's all just a bunch of matter 'Cause if you're not really here I don't wanna be either I wanna be next to you Black and gold, black and gold, black and gold
for some reason, this song reminds me of long car rides, hasty goodbyes to people I didn't know I'd never see again, losing hope and gaining strength all at once.
I remember being in my Parents tub with my little brother, as we were playin around with water toys and all. Dad randomly switched this song on and made my imagination of a shark toy in the water true. I never knew who this girl was but now at 16 years shes given me nostagia.😢
