lyrics

There were stars and sandbars at our feet
We would climb on rooftops above the streets
And gave out

There were falls and mountains that led to streams
We always said we would live among the trees
And gaze out

But we were stranded in-between
And we didn't want to say we were dying inside
That we were fighting for our lives

We were holding, holding on
Underneath a golden sun
We were holding, holding on
Underneath a golden sun

Didn't you know
Didn't you know
We were somewhere in-between

There were long drives and we didn't know
We were given chances and we didn't show
Come home now
There were letters you sent and you wrote in code
We had pictures made of places we'd go
Please write now

But we were stranded in-between
And we didn't want to say we were dying inside
That we were fighting for our lives

We were holding, holding on
Underneath a golden sun
We were holding, holding on
Underneath a golden sun
