Crossword Puzzle by Staggering Statistics

Strange how streets converge to take you back 
The more you leave, the more you double-track 
Medicine on Sundays for all the things you lack 
Strange how streets converge to take you back 

They don’t make faces like hers no more 
The light it traces every weight she bore 
By some strange graces she turned her back 
On their bruising phrases and their heart attacks 

Tintype quits the static in your head 
She owns no real estate inside your bed 
Unconvinced she was alive till she was nearly dead 
Tintype quits the static in your head 

They don’t make faces like hers no more 
The light it traces every weight she bore 
By some strange graces she turned her back 
On their bruising phrases and their heart attacks 

Impossibly young, impossibly young 

They don’t make faces like hers no more 
The light it traces every weight she bore 
By some strange graces she turned her back 
On their bruising phrases and their heart attacks 

Impossibly young 

Strange how streets converge to take you back 
The more you leave, the more you double-track

Tintype [Digital Single]

Your golden teenage was your imperial phase 
When the world was yours to take and take 
Surfing the zeitgeist was quite nice there up on the wave 
But you had to know, it had to break 

Don’t let the sun set on your golden state 
Don’t let them tell you the turning tide won’t obey 
Don’t let them see your faults or the fears that make you quake 
Don’t let go of your hold 

It’s just like S.E. Hinton said, Stay gold 

They took your lookbook and ripped up every page 
They said your bling ring it had to fade 
The time for détente is long gone, they’re set to invade 
But they don’t know, you’re gathering strength 

Don’t let the sun set on your golden state 
Don’t let them tell you the turning tide won’t obey 
Don’t let them see your faults or the fears that make you quake 
Don’t let go of your hold 

It’s just like S.E. Hinton said, Stay gold 
It’s just like S.E. Hinton said, Stay gold 
Stay gold 
Stay gold
