| If the fish swam out of the ocean
 | 
| And grew legs and they started walking
 | 
| And the apes climbed down from the trees
 | 
| And grew tall and they started talking
 | 
| And the stars fell out of the sky
 | 
| And the tears rolled into the ocean
 | 
| And now I`m looking for a reason why
 | 
| You even set my world into motion
 | 
| `Cause if you`re not really here
 | 
| Then the stars don`t even matter
 | 
| Now I`m filled to the top with fear
 | 
| But it`s all just a bunch of matter
 | 
| `Cause if you`re not really here
 | 
| Then I don`t want to be either
 | 
| I wanna be next to you
 | 
| Black and gold, black and gold, black and gold
 | 
| I look up into the night sky
 | 
| And see a thousand eyes staring back
 | 
| And all around these golden beacons
 | 
| I see nothing but black
 | 
| I feel the weight of something beyond them
 | 
| I don`t see what I can feel
 | 
| If vision is the only validation
 | 
| Then most of my life isn`t real
 | 
| `Cause if you`re not really here
 | 
| Then the stars don`t even matter
 | 
| Now I`m filled to the top with fear
 | 
| But it`s all just a bunch of matter
 | 
| `Cause if you`re not really here
 | 
| Then I don`t want to be either
 | 
| I wanna be next to you
 | 
| Black and gold, black and gold, black and gold
 | 
| Black and gold, black and gold
 | 
| Black and gold, black and gold
 | 
| `Cause if you`re not really here
 | 
| Then the stars don`t even matter
 | 
| Now I`m filled to the top with fear
 | 
| But it`s all just a bunch of matter
 | 
| `Cause if you`re not really here
 | 
| Then I don`t want to be either
 | 
| I wanna be next to you
 |
