Nothing Gold Can Stay - Sambuca Nights Lyrics

We met by chance and hit it off old-school
We talked like no time had passed
You hadn't changed a thing in all those years
I asked you how your / life had been
Your mom passed away
You asked me why I didn't stay back then

There's not much I still remember
From my hazy college days
But your room and Sambuca nights
Those things never fade

Ed's Diner and Less Than Jake at the Astoria
I wish I didn't know I'd missed my shot

I can't see now how I couldn't say those words back then

In another life
I would have went for gold
I would have taken every chance I got
In another life
If the both of us were cats
I would have never, ever let you go

Finally asked you out for coffee
But you came right to the point
Both knew what coffee meant, both
Knew what I meant upfront

In another life
I would have went for gold
I would have taken every chance I got
In another life
If the both of us were cats
I would have never, ever let you go

Can't recall how things ended
What's worse is I can't tell if that was for the best
Wished I was there when your mom died
When your love for life was put to the test

And I know that it changed you
Things are different now, I've been there too
The point where eternal sunshine
Can't reach you anymore

I just hope you'll land on your feet

In another life
I would have went for gold
I would have taken every chance I got
In another life
If the both of us were cats
I would have never, ever let you go

In another life
I would have went for gold
I would have taken every chance I got
In another life
If the both of us were cats
I would have never, ever let you go
