Lockdown

I've always been a dreamer
Knew that one day I'd escape these streets
I've let the years drift by uncounted
Waiting for more to come to me

So many doors been opened for me
Every chance made an excuse to hide
Always you that got me through it
When I saw ruin on the other side

But I've been in lockdown
And time's running out
Been lying here too long
But I can't stay down
I've got to get going
'Cos the walls are closing in
First let me tell you everything

The air is growing thinner
Every life turn cuts me till I bleed
Tried to change but I can't do it
If I don't get out now I'm afraid I'll never leave

I've been in lockdown
And time's running out
Been lying here too long
But I can't stay down
I've got to get going
'Cos the walls are closing in
First let me tell you everything

About your eyes that shine inside me
Bathe me in their pure light
Your smile that never fades
The way your lips say their goodnight
I might hide behind this mask
But would you kiss me if I asked?
Should have asked you long ago

But I've been in lockdown
And time's running out
Been lying here too long
But I can't stay down
I've got to get going
'Cos the walls are closing in
First let me tell you everything

I've been in lockdown
And time's running out
Been lying here too long
But I can't stay down
I've got to get going
'Cos the walls are closing in
First let me tell you everything
That I can't live without you!
