[Verse 1]
She peels an orange for us in the morning
She woke me up to give me half
I can hear the children soccer ballin'
Like wildcats running on the grass
You're a girl on this island
I'm a boy from America
My flight leaves tonight
But I don't think I'm going backwards
I won't be going backwards

[Chorus]
You're my golden girl
You're the one i've chosen, girl
You're 24k
You make it bright when it's grey

[Verse 2]
Silent moments, meditative poses
You break my focus, you make me laugh
Two mopeds racing through the forest
Making dirt clouds on a path, on a path
I'm my best on this island
I'm a mess in America
My flight left last night
But I know I'm not going back home
I'm not going back home, no
[Chorus]
You're my golden girl
You're the one i've chosen, girl
You're 24k
You make it bright when it's grey
You're my golden girl
The sun has been kind to you
You're 24k (girl)
But the sky's never grey (never grey)

If we build a house in paradise, will we get to heaven still?
(Tropic, tropic, tropic, breezes, breezes, breezes)
If we don't have to live through hell just to get to heaven
(Tropic, tropic, tropic, breezes, breezes, breezes, breezes)
I'mma stay right here, with you
(Tropic, tropic, tropic, breezes, breezes, breezes, breezes)
Til the hurricane comes...

[Chorus]
You're my golden girl
You're the one I've chosen, girl
You're 24k (girl)
But the sky's never grey (never grey)

[Outro]
Loving you, darling you
Won't be too easy
Thank god you seen me
I don't deserve a girl like you
I don't know what the hell to do
I just been quiet, here a few
Down on the bayou with the crew
With the crew...
With the crew...
