I look
Every which way but back
I keep moving, keep moving
And let go
I took
I took away the baggage
Kept removing, removing
on my own

Tell me
A time you had the courage to say
I shouldn’t have wronged you in that way
No, I know why
Don’t sell me
A reason not to be afraid
Cuz I can’t guarantee I’ll buy today

I wandered off to find where truth is told
Being force-fed is getting old
Cuz wouldn’t you know, wouldn’t you
Wouldn’t you know
There’s no hold on fool’s gold
You can spray as many coats of glitter on it
I ain’t never gonna settle on it
Cuz wouldn’t you know, wouldn’t you
Wouldn’t you know

I’m hooked
On the possibilities
All uncertainty as I drive on
All night, all night
Still, the wonder of what lay ahead
Defeats knowing well what to expect

Tell me
A time you had the courage to stay
And face the music wrought of your ways
No, I know why
Cuz dwelling
Isn’t ever gonna liberate you
From the same things, the same thing
Different day

I wandered off to find where truth is told
Being force-fed is getting old
Cuz wouldn’t you know, wouldn’t you
Wouldn’t you know
There’s no hold on fool’s gold
You can spray as many coats of glitter on it
I ain’t never gonna settle on it
Cuz wouldn’t you know, wouldn’t you
Wouldn’t you know
It’s fool’s gold

It’s fool’s gold
