{Refrain:}
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

{x2:}
Running around again
Running from running

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

{x2:}
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden

{au Refrain}

{x2:}
Running around again
Running from running

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

{x2:}
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden

{au Refrain}

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 {x3}
We are golden, we are golden

{au Refrain}

{x2:}
Running around again
Running from running

{x3:}
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden
