[Verse 1]
I was somewhere two thousand and daydream
I was hot that I couldn't face things
I used to live my life in this
I fell out of sync, audio phasing
Felt like I couldn't find my placing
[Pre-Chorus]
Sky shivers there
They turn to rain
I turn again
I wish we could heal
I'll take you home
I'll make you whole
You made me wish
That this wasn't real
[Chorus]
Because you're
You're my treasure
Because you're
You're my treasure
[Verse 2]
I used to live my life in the wind
And I would fly wherever you would swim
I couldn't stand by you or anything
[Pre-Chorus]
Sky shivers there
They turn to rain
I turn again
I wish we could heal
I'll take you home
I'll make you whole
You made me wish
That this wasn't real
[Chorus]
Because you're
You're my treasure
Because you're
You're my treasure
[Bridge]
Bad habits and good times
Let's take a risk, no nine lives
Don't smile, you might just cry
Been round the round-a-bout like five times
Two scratches, hard drive
Local appetites decline
Watch the heavens just recline
Watch the heavens, lest the sun die
Breathing even is a challenge
Cause I don't want to lose, brother
I need it, gotta have it
[Outro]
Too stuck in the loop
Still stuck in the loop
