Lyrics:
First bite of this tangerine is for you
knives out, tell me the things I do
That make me difficult to witness
like overthink, under communicate
But I want to be a safer space
For both of us the bloom
I want to see you bloom
On the highest peak, waiting for ya
I adore ya
Held and free
How love can be
If I’m lost, find me, look for the kiss I blew
Knives out, tell me now what is true
You know wisdom begins in wonder
I made a plate of me and left it out for you
I cringe at most of the things I do
But you are safe with me, I believe in
Held and free
How love can be
I wish you could just tell the world to go to hell
so you can be just who you are
Cause my phone is full of
videos of you being a star
You’re a Hidden treasure
You’re a hidden treasure
You said Solzhenitsyn said it best
But I think you said it better
Oh lover, my beloved
Your problem is my own
I made a place for saying grace
Cause one day this will all be gone
Beware, there’s a lot of stairs to nowhere
Held and free
How love can be
I wish we would just tell the world to go to hell
so we can be just who we are
my phone is full of
videos of us being a stars
we’re hidden treasures
we’re a hidden treasures
You said Solzhenitsyn said it best
But I think we say it better
We’re all walking each other home
