Paroles
Took long enough for me to come around
But the past don't much matter does it now
I was stuck until you dropped that needle down
In a flash from that August light, I found
All to make my maker proud
Still don't know why you just smiled so patiently
As I chased down every tale but my own
While everything that this hard luck kid could dream
Was stranded outside standing naked in the cold
So I'll take my time
And wait my place in line
To make it shine like gold
'Til I pay down what I owe
See I always wanted to become homecoming king
Pretty things are pretty nice I suppose
Oh, but how I wish I spent more time in the deep end fishing
In swimming pools, ancient eyes and vintage clothes
But I still got time
You saved my place in line
To make it shine like gold
'Til I pay down what I owe
But I still got time
You saved my place in line
To make it shine, shine, shine
Shine like gold
'Til I pay down what I owe
