Latch {Like A Version}

[Intro]
(Never.)
Yo
Check it out.
(Never.)

[Verse 1]
Yeah, and I'm floatin',
Through the messes I'm foldin',
Scared to death that it's broken,
Yeah I'm doin' 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 copin',
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's just past 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 know how that pride will 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,
I'm to blame.
Lost my friend,
Lost my way.
And through this maze I take my steps,

[Pre Chorus]
And with nails I made my bed,
But I got no rest when I laid my head.
Go.

[Chorus]
Now I've got you in my space,
I won't let go of you. (Never)
Got you shackled in my embrace,
I'm latching onto you.
X2
Never.

[Verse 2]
Brought in that long distance romance,
We both planned on Christmas.
Then I fly down, you said to me
You think that we should go gift-less.
Little did you know that
I got that one thing on my wishlist
That I wanted,
You, you, you.

Where did we go wrong?
Your kiss goodnight darling,
Right after we hopped aboard that freight train.
You moved in, my mood swings,
Your alibis and my fake name's.
Capsized that love boat,
I stumble home and you take aim.
My phone's off, we both lost,
I call back and you take blame.

Short hand's just past five, man,
For the second time today.
But I got a new thing on the side, man,
So I'm lying wide awake.

See my heart ain't really in it,
Try'na hide it on my face.
Rather keep you on the side,
To see you side of stage.

Oh no, no show and tell.
I know, she know it well. (So well)
Not even I know who's laying in my hotel. (Oh well)
To no avail,
I fail to tell my lady stat.

[Pre Chorus]
And so with nails I made my bed,
But I got no rest when I laid my head.
Go.

[Chorus]
Now I've got you in my space,
I won't let go of you. (Never)
Got you shackled in my embrace,
I'm latching onto you.
X2

[Bridge]
I think I'm close enough, (And you know)
I'm all up in your love (And it shows)
I think we're closer now (And it goes)
Say your prayers

[Pre Chorus]
And with nails I made my bed,
But I got no rest when I laid my head.
Go.

[Chorus]
Now I've got you in my space,
(I know, she knows, to no avail.)
I won't let go of you. (Never)
(I know, she knows, to no avail.)
Got you shackled in my embrace,
(I know, she knows, to no avail.)
I'm latching onto you.
(To no avail.)
Never.
