this song is about a weird non-relationship, and how long someone can stay in your mind after things end.
----------------------------
It was 8 years ago when i first met you,
and it was 7 years ago i lost my faith
and though i seen water turned into wine and i seen the red sea part
i still believe that there aint nothing gold can stay
i was beaten gagged and bound before i fought back
and i was blackened blued and red the time i's done
I'll take a bullet for my friends and save a bullet for my gun
and I know it aint right but i am bound to shoot someone
and now some folks might call you damaged goods
but i been marked down once or twice myself.
oh i was born to be a sailor but i never learned to swim
and I ran my share of races but i never seen a win.
And it was 6 years ago you first forgot me
and it was 4 years ago our paths crossed again
and for you a chance encounter, was for me a chance to mend
then we went our own ways and we never spoke again
It was 8 years ago when i first met you,
and it was 7 years ago i lost my faith
and though i seen water turned into wine and i seen the red sea part
i still believe that there aint nothing gold can stay
I still believe that there aint nothing gold can stay
I still believe that there aint nothing gold can stay
I still believe that there aint nothing gold can stay
