Waking up in the midday sun
What's to live for?
You could see what I've done
Staring at emotion
In the light of day
I was running from the things that you'd say
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden.
(We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden)
Teenage dreams in a teenage circus
Running around like a clown on purpose
Who gives a damn about the family you come from?
No givin up when you're young and you want some
Running around again
Running from running
(repeat)
I was a boy at an open door
Why you staring
Do you still think that you know?
Looking for treasure
In the things that you threw Like a magpie
I live for glitter, not you
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden
(We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden)
Teenage dreams in a teenage circus
Running around like a clown on purpose
Who gives a damn about the family you come from?
No giving up when you're young and you want some
Now I'm sitting alone
I'm finally looking around
Left here on my own
I'm gonna hurt myself
Maybe losing my mind
I'm still wondering why
Had to let the world let it bleed me dry
We are not what you think we are
We are not what you think we are
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden
Teenage dreams in a teenage circus
Running around like a clown on purpose
Who gives a damn about the family you come from?
No givin up when you're young and you want some
Running around again
Running from running
(repeat)
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden
