Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's a cracked screen world
Where white blooms above the city
Catch sunrise and the freeway glows
Perfumed with Palo Santo
Early flights touch down
Every day
The tired influencer
Ain't sleeping deep
Waiting for an answer
Gotta press on, brown eyes
I'll always keep you close beside me
Billing trees
That's the way it's meant to be
[Verse 2]
"It was a different time," I hear that a lot up in the hills
Logic kills on Silver Lake reflections
Just trying to keep my head up
But nothing real anymore
In the world of the tired influencer
Ain't sleeping deep
Waiting for an answer
Gotta press on, brown eyes
I always keep you close beside me
Billing trees
That's the way it's meant to be
[Verse 3]
If you know
Is it meant to be?
If you know
Wear your love
Wear your love
Wear your love
Love
[Verse 4]
Is it meant to be?
Wear your love
Wear your love
Wear your love
[Verse 5]
It's meant to be
Wear your love
Wear your love
Wear your love
Wear your love
