Mates of State - Blue And Gold Print Lyrics

So long, lost love
I haven't forgotten you, just yet
I held your picture before I knew
Next view, seems set in golden hues
Your face, still drifting inside my head
The weight it is gone
The words that I could have said
I sang instead
But, other girls only cry
I call it grace
I am a mindless child

But I said, he's treating me right
But I said, he's treating me right

You're gone
What's left?
Memories of greater days just hang
Look on, you say
But together the obvious cruels
Taught you
Skipped the series of laid out rules
Go stand outside
The clouds raining, spark the light
Thats how we met
The greatest day of his life.

I said, he's treating me right
I said, he's treating me right

We're just a little bit lost
Inside our houses
We're just a little unkept
Out in the streets
But, I won't ever pass up a second
To tell you the place, its a myth
Cause I know when the kids are all grown
We'll still have this blue and gold print

He's treating me right
I know he's treating me right

But, I won't ever pass up a second
To tell you the place, its a myth
Cause I know when the kids are all grown
We'll still have this blue and gold print
