[Intro: (Kianja)]
Free your body and
Free your body and
Free your body and your mind
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Chorus: Craig David & Dan Smith, Craig David]
What's it gonna be 'cause I can't pretend?
Don't you wanna be more than friends?
Hold me tight and don't let go (Don't let go)
You have the right to lose control (Don't let go)

[Verse 1: Kianja & Dan Smith]
I often tell myself that we could be
More than just friends
I know you think that if we move too soon
It would all end
I live in misery when you're not around
And I won't be satisfied 'til we're taking those vows

[Pre-Chorus: Craig David & Dan Smith]
There'll be some love making, heartbreaking, soul shaking love
Love making, heartbreaking, soul shaking

[Chorus: Craig David & Dan Smith, Craig David]
What's it gonna be 'cause I can't pretend?
Don't you wanna be more than friends?
Hold me tight and don't let go (Don't let go)
You have the right to lose control (Don't let go)
(Now wait a minute, now wait a minute)

[Verse 2: Dan Smith & (Kianja)]
I often fantasize the stars above are watching you
They know my heart and speak to yours like lovers only do
If I could wear your clothes, I'd pretend I was you
(Yeah, yeah, yeah) And lose control

[Pre-Chorus: Craig David]
There'll be some love making, heartbreaking, soul shaking love
Love making, heartbreaking, soul shaking

[Chorus: Craig David & Dan Smith, Craig David]
What's it gonna be 'cause I can't pretend?
Don't you wanna be more than friends?
Hold me tight and don't let go (Don't let go)
You have the right to lose control (Don't let go)
(Now wait a minute, now wait a minute)

[Verse 3: Swarmz]
Baby, don't let go, I had you from the get go
I don't really wanna play no foolish game
Baby, don't let go, I had you from the get go
I know that you know me and you know my name
Come, baby, here, it's me and you, it's you and I
The way you move, girl, come be mine
Come, baby, here, it's me and you, it's you and I
The way you move, girl, come be mine

[Verse 3: Kianja, Kianja & Craig David, Craig David]
Running in and out my life, yeah
It's got me so confused
You gotta make the sacrifice, yeah
Somebody's got to choose
And we can make it if we try
For the sake of you and I
Together, we can make it right

[Chorus: Craig David, Dan Smith & Kianja, Craig David]
What's it gonna be 'cause I can't pretend? (Oh no)
Don't you wanna be more than friends?
(Don't you wanna be more than friends? Yeah)
Hold me tight and don't let go (Don't let go)
You have the right to lose control (Don't let go)

[Outro]
Now, now wait a minute, now wait a minute

Bastille is a British indie pop band. After releasing a limited single in 2010 and the Laura Palmer EP in 2011, the band was signed to Virgin Records. Following their signing, the band released two mix-tapes – Other People’s Heartache and Other People’s Heartache Pt. 2 — for free. In an interview with The Guardian, Dan Smith discussed the

Someone recently said to ‘The mixtapes were very clever, was that the label’s idea?’ Actually the label were completely against it; we were stealing and sampling illegally left, right and centre. The label ‘We want nothing to do with this.’ When it came to hosting the mixtapes, I had to register the website myself.

Preceding the release of their debut album, Bad Blood, the band released several singles — “Overjoyed”, “Bad Blood” and “Flaws”— to moderate commercial success. In February 2013, the band was catapulted into the charts by the album’s fourth single, “Pompeii”. The song was a commercial hit, going up to 5x Platinum around the world. In June 2014, “Pompeii” was confirmed to be the United Kingdom’s most streamed song ever. Unfortunately, it has since been overtaken.
