Stay Gold Lyrics

The sun shone high those few summer days
Left us in a song, wide-eyed haze
It shone like gold
It shone like gold

But just as the moon it shines straight
So dawn goes down today
No gold can stay
No gold can stay

What if our hard work ends in despair?
What if the road won't take me there?
Oh, I wish, for once, we could Stay Gold

What if to love and be loved's not enough?
What if I fall and can't bear to get up?
Oh, I wish, for once, we could stay gold
We could stay gold

We're on our way through rugged land
Top of that mountain we wanted to stand
With hearts of gold
With hearts of gold

But there is only forward, no other way
Tomorrow was your hope at the end of the day
And gold turns gray
And gold turns gray

What if our hard work ends in despair?
What if the road won't take me there?
Oh, I wish, for once, we could stay gold

What if to love and be loved's not enough?
What if I fall and can't bear to get up?
Oh, I wish, for once, we could stay gold
We could stay gold

All of my dreams, they fall and form a bridge
Of memories where I can get back
All of my dreams, they fall and form a bridge
Of memories where I can't get back to you

What if our hard work ends in despair?
What if the road won't take me there?
Oh, I wish, for once, we could stay gold

What if to love and be loved's not enough?
What if I fall and can't bear to get up?
Oh, I wish, for once, we could stay gold
We could stay gold

Could stay gold
Stay gold

Stay Gold

This is the title track of First Aid Kit's third album. The Söderberg sisters wrote the songs about their own lives. Klara Söderberg told Uncut magazine: "We wrote these songs about being away from people we love and going on great adventures. It's not an 'on tour' record, it's about feeling lost in any sort of way. We're very emotional people, and we deal with our sadness by writing about it. That's the whole idea behind our band."

Klara Soderberg started writing lyrics for "Stay Gold" after reading Robert Frost's classic poem, Nothing Gold Can Stay.

"I had this collection of poetry, and I thought, 'I'll open this and see if there's anything in here that inspires me,' and I came upon the line 'Nothing gold can stay,'" she told The Oregonian. "That was literally the first thing I saw, and it was perfect."

The Big Pink's 2011 song "Stay Gold" was inspired by the same poem.

Waitress Song Lyrics

I could move to a small town
And become a waitress
Say my name was stacy
And I was figuring things out

See, my baby, he left me
And I don't feel like staying here tonight

I remember sleepless nights
I remember chicago
I remember the music
From the downstairs bar

Girls, they just want to have fun
And the rest of us hardly know who we are

It's a dark, twisted road we are on
And we are to walk it alone

I could join the circus
When they come to town
Me and the freaks, the tamers
And that old sad clown

I'd walk across that tight rope
Head held high
So close to death
I'd never fell nor lie

You know, it's a dark, twisted road we are on
And we are to walk it alone

I could drive out to the ocean
And just stare in awe
I could walk across the beaches
And sleep under the stars

Our love would seem trivial and obscure
Now and never feel lost anymore

Waitress Song

This song finds Johanna and Klara Söderberg imagining a simpler life away from this "dark, twisted road." Klara told The Sun: "I think we had this almost romantic idea of what it's like to be a waitress in an American diner.

The song is one of several tracks on Stay Gold that introduces new elements to First Aid Kit's music, such as a 13-piece orchestra. Klara told Uncut magazine: "The strings and arrangements move us into new territory. We're a four piece band live, but we felt that shouldn't dictate how this record sounds. If the songs wanted to be big, let them be big! On 'Waitress Song' and 'Stay Gold' we wanted something epic from the get-go."
