We Are Golden Lyrics

I'll start a fire with sticks
I'll put it out with my fists
I'll swim across the sound

I'll build a house in the trees
Then live where ever we please
And never settle down

Away from here
away from here
towards the purple sky

Your future is bright
and my fingers calloused
while we're tasting time

Whoa, whoa, whoa
I've been in town from a hole in the ground
(x3)

I'll dig until we find gold
We'll run until we grow old
We'll never touch the ground

I'll build a home on the sea
We'll swim where ever we please
searching for the shore

Away from here
away from here
towards the purple sky

Your future is bright
and my fingers ballasts
while we're tasting time

Whoa, whoa, whoa
I've been in town from a hole in the ground
(x3)

We are golden
We're gold
We're golden
(x2)

Away from here (we are golden)
I'll wait right here (we're gold)
Towards the purple sky (we're golden)

Away from here (we are golden)
I'll wait right here (we're gold)

Whoa, whoa, whoa
I've been in town from a hole in the ground
(x4)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

It is very centered on freedom and exploration [live/swim wherever we please]

especially leaving a place where you feel unhappy [away from here/been in town from (coming from) a hole in the ground (a place I felt stuck in)]

and not getting tied down like everyone else, but rather going your own places and finding your own way [searching for the shore/future is bright/we are golden]

Is it not "I've built a town from a hole in the ground"?
