CAMELLIA
SLCHLD Lyrics

She's my Camellia, sheltered from media
The musician sees his lover as a resilient flower that has protected herself from public scrutiny and pressure.

Healthier than expected, that's how she grew up
The lover grew up in ways he didn't anticipate but is now much happier with how she turned out.

Claimed to be a self-made, not that she's unaware
She is confident about her abilities to achieve success but is not ignorant of the support and encouragement she has received.

Won't let these hours go to waste
They do not take their moments together for granted and want to make the most of their time.

Depend on no bottle
They do not need alcohol to have a good time.

Baby, you're better than liquor
She is much more enjoyable to be around and to love than any alcoholic drink.

Acting like I always knew her
He feels as if he has always known her and their connection is natural.

Your love is so universal
Her love is inclusive and encompasses everything in him.

Keeping me company, baby your honesty
She keeps him company with her truthful and transparent nature.

Holding that harmony
They are working together to keep their relationship in check and in good stead.

Tell me love, how do you do it?
He asks her how she is able to maintain such a magnificent connection between them.

Never once thought I would lose ya
He never thought he would lose her and is grateful for their relationship.

And when you're having a hard time
He wants to be there for her when she is going through tough times.

Let me know, baby let me know
He encourages her to share her struggles with him.

You're the only friend that I have
She is the only friend he has due to the strong emotional bond between them.

That I know I can trust
He trusts her and feels safe opening up to her.

That I know I can love yeah
Their love for each other is deep and unwavering.

We need some time to rest
They need to take breaks and relax to avoid becoming overwhelmed.

Care for ourselves yeah
They also need to prioritize self-care to maintain their well-being.

Love without borders, love with no cautions
They are devoted to loving each other unconditionally and without hesitation.

Smoke it up often
They use marijuana to relax and enhance their time together.

Pink like the love in my heart
Their love for each other is tender and affectionate.

Babe we don't have to be hard
They do not need to be tough or unyielding around each other.

One step at a time, we can make it
They will take things one day at a time and work together to keep moving forward.

Swear on my life I won't change
He promises to remain the same person and stay true to his feelings for her.

Sometimes we put ourselves in difficult situations
They acknowledge that they may experience challenges in their relationship.

But I feel like we're gonna make it
Despite the challenges, he is confident that they will overcome them and succeed.

You're strong, you're strong, you're strong
He reminds her of her strength and ability to weather storms.
