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