Treasure

(album: Human: The Double Album - 2021)

A beat-up gut string tucked behind some TVs
Like a pawn shop castaway
Started strumming little nothings
I fell in love with the way it played

Put aside the way that some things shimmer
Beauty's in the heart and not the eye
Rust is just another shade of silver
Not all treasure has to shine

Dedication, a hammer and some patience
Daddy fixed that fixer up
It ain't a palace, but the thing about it
Is what it's been too all of us

Put aside the way that some things shimmer
Beauty's in the heart and not the eye
Dust has always been our kind of glitter
Not all treasure has to shine

When I told you that I wished
I could've put a bigger diamond on your band
You said your love's worth more than any stone you could ever put on my hand

Put aside the way that some things shimmer
Beauty's in the heart and not the eye
There's riches in our simple world together
Not all treasure has to shine
Mmh, not all treasure has to shine
Hm
