On the YouTube post, Matty explained that this song was written specifically for Zane Lowe’s Drive re-score:
After we stole him we made our way from Los Angeles through the Californian desert to Las Vegas. Drowning my sorrows and (narrowly) avoiding conflict from many directions… I sat down with Ji...
[Verse 1]
I find it hard to say "Bye-bye"
Even in the state of you and I
And how can I refuse?
Yeah, you rid me of the blues
Ever since you came into my life
[Chorus]
Because you're my medicine
(Yeah, you're medicine)
Yeah, you're my medicine
(Yeah, you're medicine)
(Yeah, you're medicine)
[Verse 2]
I, I wanna marry you
Said, "I, I adore you"
And that's all I have to say, bye-bye
And you opiate this hazy head of mine
[Chorus]
Because you're my medicine
(Yeah, you're medicine)
Yeah, you're my medicine
(Yeah, you're medicine)
Because you're my medicine
(Yeah, you're medicine)
Yeah, you're my medicine
(Yeah, you're medicine)
Yeah, you're my medicine
