  • One second

    It's a cracked screen world
    Where white blooms above the city (I'm sorry)
    Catch sunrise and the freeway glows
    Perfumed with Palo Santo (here's what I found)
    Early flights touch down
    Every day, the tired influencer (I didn't get that, could you try again?)
    Ain't sleeping deep
    Waiting for an answer
    Gotta press on, brown eyes
    I'll always keep you close beside me
    Billing trees
    'Cause that's the way it's meant to be

    It was a different time (different time)
    I hear that a lot up in the hills (in the hills)
    Logic kills and Silver Lake reflections (reflections)
    Just trying to keep my head up (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
    'Cause that's the way it's meant to be

    If you know
    Is it meant to be?
    If you know

    Wear your love
    Wear your love
    Wear your love
    Love
    Is it love you need?
    Wear your love
    Wear your love (wear your love)
    Wear your love
    It's meant to be
    Wear your love
    Wear your love
    Wear your love
    Wear your love Writer/s: Damon Albarn, Greg Kurstin
