lyrics

Overcoming being out of your way
Takes time & no-one likes to wait
For every step I make there are 3 the other way
But here's a little something I will take
Let the feeling go away
Cos when it comes to being lucky I ain't

Never thought it would be something to hold
But I found it after you
My head won't find another shoulder

Like gold, white gold, like coke
Like gold, white gold, like coke

Nobody can tell me without word of a lie
That I'll forget you given time
I meet your eyes in every face that I see
So Here's a little something I will take
Let the feeling go away
Now it's all turned out like the way that you said

Like gold, white gold, like coke
Like gold my sweet cocaine

I can't sleep on thoughts that won't let me alone
For every little thing I hear you say
My regrettable mistakes
You know I'd take you back but you would not stay
