[Verse 1: Boy In Space with SHY Martin]
I've been dead for days, I just feel like a black hole
Got my head in space, I'm alone, where should I go?
Everything we did is saved in a box full of Polaroids
And when I drink, I don't think, so I call just to say hello
[Pre-Chorus: Boy In Space & SHY Martin]
Never calling you out
Zip a lock on my mouth
And I
Never figured it out
Love just went south
And I
[Chorus: Boy In Space with SHY Martin]
I wish that I could turn my heart to stone
So I don't have to feel what I feel when I'm alone
I've been burning pavement
Almost met my maker
Livin' on a prayer
Need to change your face from the screen on my phone
Please pick up your stuff so I can finally let you go
Called in every favor
Devil was my neighbor
Livin' on a prayer
[Verse 2: SHY Martin]
Guess how many steps that I took
'Cause I wanted you to be the one
That's how many times I was building you up
So you could let me down, mmm
[Pre-Chorus: SHY Martin & Boy In Space]
Now I'm calling you out
Rip the lock from my mouth
And I
I've really figured you out
Love just went south
And I
[Chorus: SHY Martin with Boy In Space, Boy In Space]
I wish that I could turn my heart to stone
So I don't have to feel what I feel when I'm alone
I've been burning pavement
Almost met my maker
Livin' on a prayer (Livin' on a prayer)
Need to change your face from the screen on my phone
Please pick up your stuff so I can finally let you go
Called in every favor
Devil was my neighbor
Livin' on a prayer (Livin' on a prayer)
[Post-Chorus: Boy In Space & SHY Martin, SHY Martin & Boy In Space]
Now I'm calling you out
Rip the lock from my mouth
And I (And I)
I've really figured you out
Love just went south
And I (Oh)
[Outro: Boy In Space & SHY Martin]
I wish I didn't have to feel this low
And I don't know if I will make it home
To my mama's basement (Mmm)
Livin' on a prayer, oh-oh
