lyrics
I couldn't say how long it's been since I felt the electricity
Surging from someone else's heart
To coarse through me, to coarse through me
And every time I feel its weight upon my chest, the gravity
I know the scene set for the screen could only mean it should play out like books we read
Lock me up darling, I'll never leave
Yours to the end release me
Lock me down darling, throw out the key
This is the end please believe
I like to torture myself with hypotheticals, ifs and maybes
And keep my inner most concerns to myself in hopes that chance will save me
I won't lie to you more than I already have I think about it down the line
Growing from the initial shock into something worthy of your time
Lock me up darling, I'll never leave
Yours to the end release me
Lock me down darling, throw out the key
This is the end, oh this is the end
And I never thought this through
Who could have known it was never you
Lock me up darling, I'll never leave
Yours to end release me
Lock me down throw out the key this is the end, oh this is the end
(Lock me up darling, I'll never leave)
And I never thought this through,
(Yours to the end release me)
Who could have known it was never you
Surging from someone else's heart
To coarse through me, to coarse through me
And every time I feel its weight upon my chest, the gravity
I know the scene set for the screen could only mean it should play out like books we read
Lock me up darling, I'll never leave
Yours to the end release me
Lock me down darling, throw out the key
This is the end please believe
I like to torture myself with hypotheticals, ifs and maybes
And keep my inner most concerns to myself in hopes that chance will save me
I won't lie to you more than I already have I think about it down the line
Growing from the initial shock into something worthy of your time
Lock me up darling, I'll never leave
Yours to the end release me
Lock me down darling, throw out the key
This is the end, oh this is the end
And I never thought this through
Who could have known it was never you
Lock me up darling, I'll never leave
Yours to end release me
Lock me down throw out the key this is the end, oh this is the end
(Lock me up darling, I'll never leave)
And I never thought this through,
(Yours to the end release me)
Who could have known it was never you
