This song is about loss, and about how sometimes we try to make ourselves feel better about everything but forget that there’s also beauty in the darkness. If we’re able to put aside our judgments and be in the moment, we might discover hidden treasures.
lyrics
Treasure
Street lights are dancing
Shifting their glow
Oak trees are humming
Soft and low
Stars are gold fish
Swimming through the night
And your voice is coming through
Memories clenching
Their teeth in the dark
Old habits, they die hard
I’m drinking your name
Like sap down my throat
But when I swallow, it’s dry
I’ve tried so hard to let it go
That I almost forgot to hold it close
I’ve tried so hard to bring the morning sun
Shadows are melting like dew drops
They’re glittering
I’ve tried so hard to let the darkness go
Night is resting
as I hold your hand
Moonflowers blooming
Their hearts expand
Our city, it’s floating
Stretched beneath our feet
And your smile is coming through
I’ve tried so hard to let it go
That I almost forgot to hold it close
I’ve tried so hard to bring the morning sun
Shadows are melting like dew drops
They’re glittering
I’ve tried so hard to let the darkness go
