I was fine in black and white
Living days on autopilot
Every smile felt rehearsed
Every heartbreak felt well-versed
I didn’t question what I knew
Till the room just shifted you
No big entrance, no grand view
Still the world adjusted to you
I don’t know what you did to me
But even scars feel honestly free
Everything turns gold at once
When you’re standing close enough
I don’t miss the way I was before
I was gray, now I’m more
Every road feels open at once
Every sky is clear enough
I didn’t know my life was dull
Till everything turns gold at once
I don’t chase the highs no more
I don’t fear the quiet floors
Your love isn’t fireworks
It’s the light that always works
You don’t promise, you don’t push
You just stay and that’s enough
In your eyes I finally see
Someone standing next to me
You don’t save me, that’s the truth
You just let me be my youth
Everything turns gold at once
When you’re standing close enough
I don’t miss the way I was before
I was gray, now I’m more
Every road feels open at once
Every sky is clear enough
I didn’t know my life was dull
Till everything turns gold at once
If tomorrow fades away
I’ll still keep this shade of day
You didn’t change the world I knew
You just made it feel more true
Everything turns gold at once
Even nights feel soft and warm
If I lose you down the road
I’ll still walk the light you showed
Every breath feels real at once
Every dream feels close enough
I was living half a view
Till everything turns gold at once
Gold at once
Still, gold at once
