verse
You leapt from crumbling bridges watching cityscapes turn to dust
Filming helicopters crashing in the ocean from way above
chorus
Got the music in you, baby, tell me why
Got the music in you, baby, tell me why
You′ve been locked in here forever, and you just can't say goodbye
verse
Kisses on the foreheads of the lovers wrapped in your arms
You′ve been hiding them in hollowed-out pianos left in the dark
chorus
Got the music in you, baby, tell me why
Got the music in you, baby, tell me why
You've been locked in here forever, and you just can't say goodbye
bridge
Your lips, my lips
Apocalypse
Your lips, my lips
Apocalypse
hook
Go and sneak us through the rivers
Flood is rising up on your knees
Oh, please
Come out and haunt me, I know you want me
Come out and haunt me
verse
Sharing all your secrets with each other since you were kids
Sleeping soundly with the locket that she gave you clutched in your fist
chorus
Got the music in you, baby, tell me why
Got the music in you, baby, tell me why
You′ve been locked in here forever, and you just can′t say goodbye
You've been locked in here forever, and you just can′t say goodbye
outro
Oh, when you're all alone
I will reach for you
When you′re feeling low
I will be there too
