When I awoke, I took the back door to my, my life
And then I spoke, I counted all the good things you are
And that list of charms was longer than my chain of broken hearts
And when the day was done, I figured I had already lost
From the start, from the start
I was gonna love you till the end of all the time
And I was gonna keep all our secret signs and our lullabies
I was made to believe that our love would grow old
We were gonna live in a treehouse and make babies
And we were gonna bury our ex-lovers and their ghosts
And baby, we were made of gold
So many times, we drank fine wine in one swallow
And in those late nights, we painted our walls bright yellow
And still that list of charms was longer than my chain of broken hearts
And when the day was done, I figured I had already lost
From the start, from the start
I was gonna love you till the end of all the time
And I was gonna keep all our secret signs and our lullabies
I was made to believe that our love would grow old
We were gonna live in a treehouse and make babies
And we were gonna bury our ex-lovers and their ghosts
And baby, we were made of gold
