Lock You Up Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's a long way home, but I'm making my way
With so many things still left to say
I try to think about the one I mean the most
When my mind goes black
And then it hits me like a ton of bricks
[Pre-Chorus]
I want you, not nothing else
I want to lock you up inside my heart
[Chorus]
I always wanted you (I always will)
Sometimes it's hard (Sometimes it's hard)
What do I do to lock you up inside my heart?
I wanted you (I wanted you)
From the start (From the start)
I want to lock you up inside my heart
[Verse 2]
Nothing says tomorrow is a guarantee
There's no way of knowing that you'll be with me
As I walk upon the edge of no escape
In a world so flat
And then it hits me like a bolt of faith
[Pre-Chorus]
I love you, not nothing else
I want to lock you up inside my heart
[Chorus]
I always wanted you (I always will)
Sometimes it's hard (Sometimes it's hard)
What do I do to lock you up inside my heart?
I wanted you (I wanted you)
From the start (From the start)
I want to lock you up inside my heart
What do I do to lock you up inside my heart?
I want to lock you up
[Bridge]
We won't stay, we run
Love like melting sun
Please, don't leave, don't run
Why won't you stay in tonight?
Taste my lips, don't let go
I'm in your hand
I'm in your hand
I'm in your hand
I'm in your hand
[Chorus]
I always wanted you (I always will)
Sometimes it's hard (Sometimes it's hard)
What do I do to lock you up inside my heart?
I wanted you (I wanted you)
From the start (From the start)
I want to lock you up inside my heart
What do I do to lock you up inside my heart?
I want to lock you up inside my heart
[Outro]
What do I do to lock you up inside my heart?
