Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴Tell me how you wake up, I just wanna wake up
UFO again, doesn't matter what it takes up
Crazy in the dome, baby, can I get a heads-up?
Girl, they try to break us
Girl, they try to break us
Wanna get away with you, tell me your location
Feels like yesterday, I remember I would stay up
Baby, can you say somethin'? Wanna feel sensation Promise you I'll never get numb, I'm too precious

(I'm too precious, I'm too precious)
(I'm too precious, I'm too precious)

Burning forever and ever, fully blazing
I don't remember no better days
You know I'm waiting, just whenever
Shit's whatever
Burning forever and ever, fully blazing
I don't remember no better days
You know I'm waiting, just whenever
Shit's whatever

(I'm too precious, I'm too precious)
(I'm too precious, I'm too precious)
