joyriding

Alice Merton

Icy breath light up the sky
With those green and purple colours
My mind s jumping in and out of time
You stand still while I recover
Don t mean to cause an alarm
No, I don t mean to change my mind
I m not so sure of some things
But sure as hell, I know you re mine

Joyriding in the darkest hours
Hail Mary, won t you shout a little louder?
I thought I could surrender, but you re too strong
Joyriding, won t you tell me your secret?
What do you do to make me feel like this?
I ll keep you close cause I m adorned in awe

I ll make a pile of leaves for you
And we can jump into the centre
I ll dive into the sea and come back to you
With the golden treasure
I ll lock myself in solitude to prove my loyalty to you
My loyalty to you

Joyriding in the darkest hours
Hail Mary, won t you shout a little louder?
I thought I could surrender, but you re too strong
Joyriding, won t you tell me your secret?
What do you do to make me feel like this?
I ll keep you close cause I m adorned in awe

I ll lock myself in solitude to prove my loyalty to you
I ll climb the towers
and change the time back down to be with you
I ll build a castle in the clouds
make sure the birds come flying round
Oh, what a joy ride it would be

Joyriding in the darkest hours
Hail Mary, won t you shout a little louder?
I thought I could surrender, but you re too strong
Joyriding, won t you tell me your secret?
What do you do to make me feel like this?
I ll keep you close cause I m adorned in awe
