Black & Gold

Adele · Other Songs - Adele

If fish swam out of the ocean and grew legs and they started walking

And the apes climbed down from the trees

And grew tall and they started talking



And the stars fell out of the sky and my tears rolled into the ocean

Now I'm looking for a reason why you even set my world into motion



'Cause if you're not really here then the stars don't even matter

Now I'm filled to the top with fear but it's all just a bunch of matter



'Cause if you're not really here then I don't want to be either

I wanna be next to you

Black and gold

Black and gold

Black and gold



Oh

Oh

Oh

Oh

Yeah



Yeah

Yeah

Yeah



I looked up into the grey sky and see a thousand eyes staring back

And all around these golden beacons I see nothing but black



I feel a way of something beyond them

I don't see what I can feel

If vision is the only validation then most of my life isn't real



'Cause if you're not really here then the stars don't even matter

Now I'm filled to the top with fear but it's all just a bunch of matter



'Cause if you're not really here then I don't want to be either

I wanna be next to you

Black and gold

Black and gold

Black and gold



Black and gold

Black and gold

Oh



'Cause if you're not really here then the stars don't even matter

Now I'm filled to the top with fear but it's all just a bunch of matter



'Cause if you're not really here then I don't want to be either

I wanna be next to you

Black and gold

Black and gold



If you're not really here then I don't want to be either

I wanna be next to you

Black and gold

Black and gold

Black and gold
