Fool's Gold
Fool's Gold: Chasing Dreams that Vanish in the Light
Lyrics
We wake up
We begin the day
On Sunday morning, fingers intertwined
On Sunday morning, holding hands
You told me
You informed me
The tallest tales once again last night
Recounting fantastical stories from last night
Thought this was it
Believed this was the moment
Oh, gold rush, begin
A reference to the excitement and anticipation akin to a gold rush
Each storybook leads to its own happy end
Every narrative has its own happy conclusion
But some things are just too good to exist
Some things are too perfect to be real
You vanish in the light my dear
You disappear in the brightness, my love
Like snow without the cold, oh
Comparing your disappearance to snow without the cold
Morning comes you disappear
You vanish when morning arrives
You were, you were, Fool's Gold
You were, indeed, Fool's Gold
A dreamer
A person with dreams and aspirations
Oh all my life, I've longed for fairytales
Throughout my life, I've desired fairytales
I'm just a
Describing oneself as a magpie
magpie that fell for a nightingale
Falling for someone special, like a nightingale
Thought this was it
Believed this was the moment (repeated)
Oh, gold rush, begin
A reference to the excitement and anticipation akin to a gold rush (repeated)
Each storybook leads to its own happy end
Every narrative has its own happy conclusion (repeated)
But some things are just too good to exist
Some things are too perfect to be real (repeated)
You vanish in the light my dear
You disappear in the brightness, my love (repeated)
Like snow without the cold, oh
Comparing your disappearance to snow without the cold (repeated)
Morning comes you disappear
You vanish when morning arrives (repeated)
You were, you were, Fool's Gold
You were, indeed, Fool's Gold (repeated)
Oh
An exclamation or realization
I was chasing Fool's Gold
I was pursuing something deceptive or illusory
You vanish in the light my dear
You disappear in the brightness, my love (repeated)
I've always known, you would, oh
I always knew you would (disappear)
Morning comes you disappear
You vanish when morning arrives (repeated)
You were, you were, Fool's Gold
You were, indeed, Fool's Gold (repeated)
