Lock Me Up Lyrics by Mercer Henderson

Not Really Strangers

2024

[Verse 1]
It's a losing game but I kinda like it
Tried to run away but you stand at every exit
Now you're my oxygen, the room I'm in
The kiss that's on my neck
It's a losing game but I wanna know what happens next
[Verse 2]
We go drinking 'til we're sideways at my place
We talk about the bad days, how your heart aches
You wanna find the one as my shirt's undone
I thought this might change your mind
But it's a chance I know you won't take
[Pre-Chorus]
So I'll take it for you
You know I'd do anything for you
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm in love, I'm in love
Ignored the warning signs so
Lock me up, lock me up
I swear I'll sleep just fine
If it's such a crime to want this
If it's such a crime to try, just
Lock me up 'cause I'm in love
And I wanna make you mine (I'm in love)
And I wanna make you mine
[Verse 3]
New places, new distractions, but I can't look away (Oh, no)
I just want to see what happens if we go a different way
Where we're face to face, hands on waist, I wake up next to you
But we won't talk about it after (I know we won't)
[Pre-Chorus]
So I'll say it for you
You know I've got nothing left to lose
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm in love, I'm in love
Ignored the warning signs so
Lock me up, lock me up
I swear I'll sleep just fine
If it's such a crime to want this
If it's such a crime to try, just
Lock me up 'cause I'm in love
And I wanna make you mine (I'm in love)
And I wanna make you mine (I'm in love)
[Bridge]
Said we wouldn't but we did
Make me your lover, not your friend
I'll take the jump, I'll make the call
Baby, you know I'd do it all
To be your lover, not your friend
I'll do it all over again
I'll take the risk, I'll catch your fall
Baby, you know I'd do it all
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm in love
I ignored the warning signs so
Lock me up
I swear I'll sleep just fine
If it's such a crime to want this
If it's such a crime to try, just
Lock me up 'cause I'm in love
And I wanna make you mine (I'm in love, I'm in—)
And I wanna make you mine (I'm in love)
[Outro]
And I wanna make you mine
(Said we wouldn't but we did)
(Make me your lover, not your friend)
(I'm in love)
And I wanna make you mine
(I'll take the jump, I'll make the call)
(Baby, you know I'd do it all)
I wanna make you mine
