[Intro]

Sunlit silver shines like gold

But I've learned to stay away from precious metals

[Verse 1]

Your eyes were sunsets

Looked up at me and I didn't want you

To fall into the ocean

'Cause sunsets burn bright and warm

But they fade into the cold

My hands were

Frozen in your warm touch and soft embrace

But we started knowing we would end

And the stage lights shone like galaxies upon your face

[Chorus]

You spun me 'round

Planted seeds inside my soul

You built forests up inside of me

We laughed and walked beneath the trees

I felt so free

You shone like molten gold

You built forests up inside of me

We laughed and walked beneath the trees

[Verse 2]

Your hands were warmer

In the balmy summer evening at Millennium Park

And I thought "well I should warn her"

The girl who shone her flashlight out for me in the dark

But you

Whispered my name then

Gently as the night began to fall

And you told me that you wish we could

Stay here forever with the streetlights shining in our souls

[Chorus]

You spun me 'round

Planted seeds inside my soul

You built forests up inside of me

We laughed and walked beneath the trees

I felt so free

You shone like molten gold

You built forests up inside of me

We laughed and walked beneath the trees

[Bridge]

But then the fire came

The dry earth crumbled underneath the weight

The trees fell to the dust

And all I could do was watch and wait

You burned

The ashes fell between us

How do you stay a carefree young pine tree

When you built a forest up inside of me?

[Chorus]

You spun me 'round (you spun me 'round)

Planted seeds inside my soul (seeds inside my soul)

You built forests up inside of me

We laughed and walked beneath the trees

I felt so free (felt so free)

You shone like molten gold

You built forests up inside of me

We laughed and walked beneath the trees

You spun me 'round

Planted seeds inside my soul

You built forests up inside of me

We laughed and walked beneath the trees

I felt so free

You shone like molten gold

I see you dancing in the ashes

And I've never felt so cold
