Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I know you get tongue-tied, you trip over your words

Spend all of your young life on your tiptoes, and it hurts

Feel like you break down every other day

You know it's okay not to be okay

Feels like you piss people off whenever you talk

Tired of this tightrope, this tightrope you walk

Darling, you're way, way too hard on yourself

I don't know why, why you don't ask for help

It doesn't mean we're giving up the fight now

Everybody needs a place to hide out, hide out

Come, come meet me at my treehouse

Yeah, we'll be blowing sweet clouds

Yeah, we can pretend the world's just you and me

When the lights are out below us (Oh, oh)

You ever start to freak out (Freak out)

Come meet me at my treehouse

We can forget the world, just you and me

Aw yeah, it's alright, alright, alright now

Ayy

It's alright, alright not to be alright (Alright, alright, alright)

I know you have hopeless days and sleepless nights (Ayy)

You workin' a job that you don't even like

And it got so dark, you can't see the lights

They don't know what you feel inside

And I can't say that I do too

But I'd like to get to run this thing (Ayy)

You can say what you feel too if you need to

I ain't judgin', nah

I'm just wonderin' when you're coming back

To this treehouse and this hideout

If you need a little time out

Smoke a little and just vibe out

Come, come meet me at my treehouse

Yeah, we'll be blowing sweet clouds

Yeah, we can pretend the world's just you and me

When the lights are out below us (Oh, oh)

You ever start to freak out (Freak out)

Come meet me at my treehouse

We can forget the world, just you and me

Aw yeah, it's alright, alright, alright now

Girl, I wanna see you shinin' (Shinin')

Only the best for you, I cover you in diamonds (Diamonds)

Matchin' Rollies, now we both got perfect timin' (Oh)

You don't care about the money, but now you smilin'

Makin' love on a beach on a private island

Roll the gas up, watch the sun risin'

Hit the Louis store, pray they got both our sizes

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Come, come meet me at my treehouse

Yeah, we'll be blowing sweet clouds

Yeah, we can pretend the world's just you and me

When the lights are out below us (Oh, oh)

You ever start to freak out (Freak out)

Come meet me at my treehouse

We can forget the world, just you and me

Aw yeah, it's alright, alright, alright now

You can say whatever you like

Ain't no judgin' up at this height

You can be who you are with me

It's alright, alright, alright now

It's alright, alright, alright now

It's alright, alright, alright now

It's alright, alright, alright now

It's alright, alright, alright now
