Golden
New Found Glory · Other Songs - New Found Glory
Another melody something we go through
This could be the words to use in good fortune
To keep in the bag of my foiled backup plan
It's the beat that keeps you marching on
So take your chance I got armour on
Reasons will reveal itself into time
So for luck will you cross your fingers?
You and I girl, we've got something golden
Did you now they say it never lasts
And oh-oh-oh, we've got something golden
We can't, can't break, everyone, everyone's wrong
Everyone, everyone's wrong
This could be the verse always reminding you
Of your battle scars all your could have been's
Only I know what I've been through
But for luck I'd still cross my fingers
[Chorus:]
I could have used this long ago
You took my good advice
I could have used this long ago
Should have crossed my fingers
[Chorus:]
