Treasure Lyrics
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
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
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

“Treasure” is a song by the British soul singer Sampha, released on October 12, 2018.
It has been written for the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack of the film Beautiful Boy, directed by Felix Van Groeningen and released the same day of “Treasure”.
