Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't sing but I wrote you a song, yeah
Wrong notes but the melody's so clear
When I'm lost, I'm still close to gold 'cause I found my treasure in you
And that's priceless spending, now let me count my blessings

1 life, 2 children
3 time, 4 dreaming
5 senses, 6 words
I found my treasure in you

And that's priceless spending, now let me count my blessings

1 life, 2 children
3 time, 4 dreaming
5 senses, 6 words
I found my treasure in you
In you
I found my treasure in you

Bronze, silver, gold, no, it's you
I found my treasure in you
Nothing less than that will do
'Cause I found my treasure in you

I can't sing but I wrote you a song, yeah
Wrong notes but the melody's so clear
When I'm lost, I'm still close to gold 'cause I found my treasure in you
And that's priceless spending, now let me count my blessings

Oh oh oh




I found my treasure in you
I can't sing but I wrote you a song, yeah

Note to self when I listen to this song ten years from now

"The date is 17/07/2021, life is so good, I am actually winning for a change ;) and this song makes that feeling so much better!"

I memberrrrr, it was about this time circa 2013/2014 when all the artists started switching tempos mid stage of their songs, but this one was always little special.

Filled with sentiment and softness, Wretch pays tribute to what only one can assume his love for his family, maybe a child or a women, but one thing is for sure a tribute to jungle is clear!!

Wish we had more Artists like this, sick production, calm and easy lyrics no violence!
