Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You don't like rollercoasters
How could you ever love a girl like me?
I took you to the end of my street
So you could see my bones
A cup with a promise to you
[Verse 2]
Our stars came in a packet of two
She's walking up to you
She's dying to be by your side
She's walking up to you
She's dying to be by your side
Fool's gold, sha-na-na-ny
So easy on the eyes
Fool's gold
How many times do I have to realize?
Fool's gold, so bright
Fooling everyone inside
Fool's gold
How many times do I have to realize?
[Verse 3]
I won’t bend to you, no
I don't know how to
Can you handle a girl like her?
She is bolder than you think
Can you love a girl like me?
Well she's running to your dreams
Drags through the midnight
And than reignite
[Verse 4]
She's walking up to you
She's dying to be by your side
She's walking up to you
She's dying to be by your side
Fool's gold, sha-na-na-ny
So easy on the eyes
Fool's gold
How many times do I have to realize?
Fool's gold, so bright
Fooling everyone inside
Fool's gold
How many times do I have to realize?
[Verse 5]
She's walking up to you
She's dying to be by your side
She's walking up to you
Fool's gold, sha-na-na-ny
So easy on the eyes (She's dying to be by your side)
Fool's gold
How many times do I have to realize? (She's walking up to you)
Fool's gold, so bright
Fooling everyone inside
Fool's gold
How many times do I have to realize? (She's walking up to you)
Fool's gold, sha-na-na-ny
So easy on the eyes
Fool's gold
How many times do I have to realize? (She's walking up to you)
Fool's gold, so bright
Fooling everyone inside
Fool's gold
How many times do I have to realize? (She's walking up to you)
