Gold Medal Ribbon Lyrics
Oh!
[Verse 1]
Are you up there? Just give me a signal, I'm reaching you now
'Cause I remember the sound
Of your voice, but I don't remember what we talked about
It doesn't matter, that's a waste of time
[Pre-Chorus]
So take off your rings and lipstick for me
[Chorus]
I swear that I can hear you in the wind
You're singing to me and
Dancing in the halls outside again
I'm always listening
[Verse 2]
Send me off into space on this rocket invention
We'll look at the lights over the atmosphere
Eat gold medal ribbon 'til we die up here
It's self-sabotage, suffocation, and stale taste of blood
[Chorus]
I swear that I can hear you in the wind
You're singing to me and
You're dancing in the halls outside again
And I'm always listening

It was about a friend that passed away. She was my first girlfriend. She passed during the making of this record. It was hard because she was the first person I ever fell in love with and said those words to. It’s a song for her, letting her know I still think about her. ‘Gold Medal Ribbon’ was her favorite ice cream flavor. We used to go get ice cream together all of the time in high school.
