The Cab - Lock Me Up Album Lyrics

---

Lock Me Up

Time to listen to my confession.
I'm much less than I wanted to be, wanted to be.
You shine a light on my dark side, but you
Don't care what you see.

[Pre-Chorus 1:]
Overjoyed. Over you. Overnight.
But that's what you do.

[Chorus 1:]
Why don't you lock me up with joy and kisses?
Lock me up with love?
Chain me to your heart's desire
I don't want you to stop
Lock me in and hold this moment, never get enough
Ain't no way I'm ever breaking free
Lock me up

(Oh, oh. [x3])
Lock me up.

Criticize.
You don't analyse me 'cause,
You can see what I'm trying to be, trying to be.
I've been lost and I've been blinded by,
All the things that I've seen.

[Pre-Chorus 2:]
Overjoyed. Over you. Overnight.
Girl, that's what you do.

[Chorus 2:]
So why don't you lock me up with joy and kisses?
Lock me up with love?
Chain me to your heart's desire
I don't want you to stop
Lock me in and hold this moment, never get enough
Ain't no way I'm ever breaking free
Lock me up

Oh, oh. Oh, oh. Oh, oh.
(Why don't ya? [x3] Lock me up.)
Oh, oh. Oh, oh. Oh, oh.
(Why don't ya? [x3] Lock me up.)

[Pre-Chorus 2]

[Chorus 2]

Moon

It's so fake, this world of ours.
More satellites than shooting stars; they're all around.
Yeah, their broken hearts on the boulevard,
You know world will leave you scarred and let you down.

[Pre-chorus 1:]
By leaving here with you, one of you will be living on the dark side.
Yeah, right here, right now, we'll leave this crowded room.

[Chorus:]
I'll take your body to the moon.
Then I'll let you turn it around.
Girl, let's show me something new.
Let me watch you take it off now.
Baby we don't need these lights,
'cause you'll be seeing stars tonight.
I'll take your body to the moon.
Let's fly.
Let's fly.

Let's not complicate the night.
Just look up, everything is black and white.
If the universe is you and I, then I know everything is gonna be alright.

[Pre-chorus 2:]
So tell me, what do you have to lose? Don't you let this moment pass you by.
Yeah, right here, right now, we'll leave this crowded room.

[Chorus]

[Pre-chorus 1]

[Chorus]

Numbers

Out of the seven billion people in this world, there's only you.
Almost a million words that I could say, but none of them will do.
So many years that I have lived, but it feels like I've just begun.
Out of the seven billion people, baby, you're the only one.

I've been too many places. I've seen too many faces.
I wrote too many pages; never found a love like you. (Love like you)
I don't know how to say it. It's been more than amazing.
My whole life, I've been waiting; never found a love like you. (Love like you)

Sleep, dream, you, repeat. Live, die next to me.
Sleep, dream, you, repeat. Sleep, dream.

Out of the seven billion people in this world, there's only you.
Almost a million words that I could say, but none of them will do.
So many years that I have lived, but it feels like I've just begun.
Out of the seven billion people, baby, you're the only one.

You were unexpected, when our lips connected.
I was resurrected; never found a love like you. (love like you)
Don't care where I'm headed when the world is ending.
'cause you are my heaven; never found a love like you. (Love like you)

Sleep, dream, you, repeat. Live, die next to me.
Sleep, dream, you, repeat. Sleep, dream.

Out of the seven billion people in this world, there's only you.
Almost a million words that I could say, but none of them will do.
So many years that I have lived, but it feels like I've just begun.
Out of the seven billion people, baby, you're the only one.

Surrounded by numbers.
(Numbers, numbers, numbers)
You're the only one.
(Numbers, numbers, numbers, numbers)

You brought me back to life.
You did the unthinkable.
Yeah, you are my miracle.

Out of the seven billion people in this world, there's only you.
Almost a million words that I could say, but none of them will do.
So many years that I have lived, but it feels like I've just begun.
Out of the seven billion people, baby, you're the only one.

Surrounded by numbers.
(Numbers, numbers, numbers)
You're the only one.
(Numbers, numbers, numbers, numbers)
You're the only one.

Surrounded by numbers.
(Numbers, numbers, numbers)
You're the only one.
(Numbers, numbers, numbers, numbers)
You're the only one.

Stand Up

Yeah, you toss like guns, I know it to run
Yeah this world can get so lonely
Yeah the paper and pen were my two best friends cause the sad songs understood me

Yeah all my dreams were keeping me from sleeping
Cause there's something so fun being young and being dumb
Cause you're not afraid of feeling
Yeah all of my demons are kicking and screaming but I'll never leave them behind
Yeah maybe I'm crazy but don't try to save me cause I've never felt so alive

Yeah when they knock you down, down, down
Kid you gotta stand up (stand up) stand up (stand up)
Yeah when they gotcha down, down, down
Gotta make your own luck (own luck) own luck (own luck)
So tell me I'm outta my mind
Give me a sign
Take it one step at a time
I know its gonna be fine
Open your eyes
Shut up and give it a try
Yeah when they knock you down, down, down
Kid you gotta stand up (stand up) stand up (stand up)

And we go ooooh, oooooh, And we go ooohh, oooohh

Yeah your eyes like knives, and no where to hide
Yeah this world can cut you open
But all the scars they prove that I found my way through
So I always keep em showing

Yeah cause I'd rather have fun being young and being dumb
Than to save that spot in heaven
Yeah all of my demons are kicking and screaming but I'll never leave them behind
Yeah maybe I'm crazy but don't try to save me cause I've never felt so alive

Yeah when they knock you down, down, down
Kid you gotta stand up (stand up) stand up (stand up)
Yeah when they gotcha down, down, down
Gotta make your own luck (own luck) own luck (own luck)
So tell me I'm outta my mind
Give me a sign
Take it one step at a time
I know its gonna be fine
Open your eyes
Shut up and give it a try
Yeah when they knock you down, down, down
Kid you gotta stand up (stand up) stand up (stand up)

And we go ooooh, oooooh, And we go ooohh, oooohh

All of my demons are kicking and screaming but I'll never leave them behind
Yeah maybe I'm crazy but don't try to save me cause I've never felt so alive

Yeah when they knock you down, down, down
Kid you gotta stand up (stand up) stand up (stand up)
Yeah when they gotcha down, down, down
Gotta make your own luck (own luck) own luck (own luck)
So tell me I'm outta my mind

And we go ooooh, oooooh, (Kid you gotta stand up) ooohh, oooohh (Kid you gotta stand up)
ooooh, oooooh, (Kid you gotta stand up) ooohh, oooohh (Kid you gotta stand up)

These Are The Lies

La-la-la-la-lies. [x4]

I don't love you, I don't need you.
I don't ever want to see you again.
'cause girl, I moved on and things are perfect.
I'm okay with us just being friends.

'cause I don't think about you every single night; I'll be fine without you.
Can sleep tight when I'm not beside you; I'm moving on.
No, I don't cry about you; never seen tears in my eyes about you.
Gonna be fine if I die without you; Baby, I'm gone.

These are the lies that I tell myself at night.
These are the lies that are keeping me alive.
These are the lies.
(La-la-la-la-lies. La-la-la-la-lies. La-la-la-la-lies lies.)
These are the lies.
(La-la-la-la-lies. La-la-la-la-lies. La-la-la-la-lies lies.)

I've got a new girl and she's my whole world,
And I don't care if you're not sleeping alone.
'cause life is so good; I'm doing so good.
Don't spend hours sitting here by the phone.

'cause I don't think about you every single night; I'll be fine without you.
Can sleep tight when I'm not beside you; I'm moving on.
No, I don't cry about you; never seen tears in my eyes about you.
Gonna be fine if I die without you; Baby, I'm gone.

These are the lies that I tell myself at night.
These are the lies that are keeping me alive.
These are the lies.
(La-la-la-la-lies. La-la-la-la-lies. La-la-la-la-lies lies.)
These are the lies.
(La-la-la-la-lies. La-la-la-la-lies. La-la-la-la-lies lies.)

These are the lies. [x10]

'cause the truth is, I'm about to lose it.
Don't think I can do this if I'm not with you.
'cause the truth is, I'm about to lose it.
Don't think I can do this if I'm not with you.
'cause the truth is, I'm about to lose it.
Don't think I can do this if I'm not with you.
'cause the truth is, I'm about to lose it.
Don't think I can do this if I'm not with you.

These are the lies that I tell myself at night.
These are the lies that are keeping me alive.
These are the lies.
These are the lies that I tell myself at night.
These are the lies that are keeping me alive.
These are the lies.
(La-la-la-la-lies. La-la-la-la-lies. La-la-la-la-lies lies.)
These are the lies.
(La-la-la-la-lies. La-la-la-la-lies. La-la-la-la-lies lies.)
