[Verse 1]
What if I stayed
In the year we were golden?
What if I held on
When the door started folding?
Your jacket by the chair
Still looks like you're here
I touch that old stain
And it blooms back clear
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep chasing the frame
Where your name still fits
One wrong turn
And I lose all of it
[Chorus]
What if I stayed in the year we were golden?
(we were golden)
What if I warned you before the fall?
(before the fall)
I keep rewriting endings that won’t hold me
I keep hearing your voice through the static of it all
(static of it all)
[Verse 2]
The kettle goes cold
On the same cracked stove
I read your goodbye
Like a note I wrote
Every version of us
Ends with my hands out
Trying to catch
What time tore down
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep chasing the frame
Where your name still fits
One wrong turn
And I lose all of it
[Chorus]
What if I stayed in the year we were golden?
(we were golden)
What if I warned you before the fall?
(before the fall)
I keep rewriting endings that won’t hold me
I keep hearing your voice through the static of it all
(static of it all)
[Bridge]
If I could step back once
I'd say don't look away
If I could break that sky
I'd keep the dark at bay
But the clock won't bend
And the page won't fold
So I sing your name
Till it lets me go
[Final Chorus]
What if I stayed in the year we were golden?
(we were golden)
What if I warned you before the fall?
(before the fall)
I keep rewriting endings that won’t hold me
I keep hearing your voice through the static of it all
(static of it all)
I keep hearing your voice
Through the static of it all
