[Verse 1 - Jaymi]
I wish I had a little more time
I wish I had a little more space
I wish the truth was something you could pull me through
Something I could face
I wish I was a little more torn
I wish I had a little more faith
I wish that I could hide behind your pretty lies
You're so hard to blame
[Pre-Chorus - JJ]
This love's gonna kill me, I know
If I have it or I don't
[Chorus - Josh & Jaymi]
Don't wanna be breathless, intoxicated
Craving the thought of you
Don't wanna be losing my mind
Don't wanna be strung out and end up jaded
All because I fell for you, I wish I could
Make up my mind
Baby I don't wanna be paralysed
Baby I don't wanna be paralysed
[Verse 2 - Jaymi, JJ & Josh]
I wish I had a little more light
Just a little more left to give
I wish that when I'm following, I'd pull you through
You'd follow me with
I wish I knew right from wrong
That you'd open up and let me in
I wish that I could hide behind your pretty lies
There's no way to win
[Pre-Chorus - Jaymi]
This love's gonna kill me, I know
If I have it or I don't
[Chorus - Jaymi & Josh]
Don't wanna be breathless, intoxicated
Craving the thought of you
Don't wanna be losing my mind
Don't wanna be strung out and end up jaded
All because I fell for you, I wish I could
Make up my mind
Baby I don't wanna be paralysed
Baby I don't wanna be paralysed
[Bridge - Josh & JJ]
I wish I had a little more time
I wish I had a little more space
I wish the truth was something you could pull me through
[Chorus - Josh & Jaymi]
Don't wanna be breathless, intoxicated
Craving the thought of you
Don't wanna be losing my mind
Don't wanna be strung out and end up jaded
All because I fell for you
I wish I could make up my mind
Baby I don't wanna be paralysed
Baby I don't wanna be paralysed
Don't wanna be paralysed, paralysed, paralysed
