The Gold Song Lyrics

Cover art for The Gold Song lyrics by Bouncing Souls

the term "nothing gold can stay" is from a poem by robert frost. it refers to the fact that no person can retain their innocence. also if any of you have ever seen or read "the outsiders" it would make a lot more sense.

i think this song is about a guy who saw an old friend today. he was excited to meet them again, but the person had changed. he thinks "oh well, nothing gold can stay" but they will always have those beautiful, gold memories of their past. "there's a love is our hearts and it shines like gold" love will always be beautiful, pure, and innocent. well, maybe. ;)
