[Verse 1: Nick Lupi]

Yo, check it out

Yeah, and I’m floating through the mess that’s unfolding

Scared to death that it’s broken, yeah, I’m doing my best but I’m frozen

Used to think it was words that could be the most potent

But lately I have learned that it’s what goes unspoken

Like letters that are left unopened, I’ve seen better days but I’m coping

Few steps that I do regret, all through the web that I’ve woven

But we’re better than that and yet hopeless, and we owe it to ourselves

But I brought it on myself, shit, I know that all too well

See the short-hand just passed five, man, for the second time today

But I got too much on my mind, man, so I’m lying wide awake

See neither you nor I, we really how that pride’ll taste

So it’s blades to my nose, just so I can spite my face

Hold my head, hide my shame, wash my sins, light my way

Lost my friend, and I’m to blame, lost my friend, lost my way

Way, way, and through this maze I take my steps

And with nails I made my bed, but get no rest when I lay my head

Go

[Chorus: Sarah Corry & Joyride (Jimmy Nice & Nick Lupi)]

Now I've got you in my space

I won’t let go of you

Got you shackled in my embrace

I’m latching onto you

(Go) Now I've got you in my space

I won’t let go of you

Got you shackled in my embrace

I’m latching onto you (Yeah, uh)

Never


[Verse 2: Jimmy Nice]

Caught in that long distance romance, we both planned on Christmas

That I'd fly down and you said to me that you think that we should go giftless

Little did you know I got the one thing on my wishlist

That I wanted, you, you, you, where did we go wrong?

Long kiss goodnight darling, right after we hopped aboard this freight train

You moved in, my mood swings, your alibi's and my fake names

Capsized that love boat, I'd stumble home and you'd take aim

My phone's off, we're both lost til I call back and you take blame

The shorthand just passed five man for the second time today

But i got a new thing on the side man and I’m lying wide awake

See my heart ain’t really in it, try to hide it on my face

Rather keep you on the side, than see you side of stage

Oh no, no show and tell, I know it she know it well

(Oh well) Not even I know who's laying in my hotel

(Oh well) To no avail I failed to tell my lady 'step'

So with nails I made my bed but I got no rest when I lay my head

[Chorus: Sarah Corry & Joyride (Jimmy Nice & Nick Lupi)]

Now I've got you in my space

I won’t let go of you

Got you shackled in my embrace

I’m latching onto you

Now I've got you in my space

I won’t let go of you

Got you shackled in my embrace

I’m latching onto you


[Bridge: Joyride & Sarah Corry (Jimmy Nice & Nick Lupi)]

I think we’re close enough (You know)

Wanna lock in your love (And it shows)

I think we’re close enough (And it goes)

Save your breath

So with nails I make my bed, but I got no rest when I lay my head

Go


[Chorus: Sarah Corry, Joyride Jimmy, Jimmy Nice & Nick Lupi]

Now I've got you in my space

I know she knows, we know it well

I won’t let go of you

I know she knows to no avail

Got you shackled in my embrace

I know she knows, we know it well

I’m latching onto you

We know it well

Never
