[Verse 1]
It’s a long way home, but I’m making my way
With so many things still left to say
I try to think about the one I need the most
When my mind goes black
And then it hits me like a ton of bricks
I want you, no, nothing else
I want to lock you up inside my heart

[Chorus 1]
I always wanted you
But sometimes it’s hard
What do I do to lock you up inside my heart?
I wanted you from the start
I want to lock you up inside my heart

[Verse 2]
Nothing says tomorrow is a guarantee
There’s no way of knowing that you’ll be with me
As I walk upon the edge of no escape in a world so flat
And then it hits me like a bolt of faith
I love you, not-nothing else
I want to lock you up inside my heart

[Chorus 2]
I always wanted you
But sometimes it’s hard
What do I do to lock you up inside my heart?
I wanted you from the start
I want to lock you up inside my heart
What do I do to lock you up inside my heart?
I want to lock you up

[Bridge]
We won’t stay, we run
Love like melting sun
Please don’t leave, don’t run
Won’t you stay in tonight?
Taste my lips, don’t let go
I’m in your hand
I’m in your hand
I’m in your hand

[Chorus 2]
I always wanted you
But sometimes it’s hard
What do I do to lock you up inside my heart?
I wanted you from the start
I want to lock you up inside my heart
What do I do to lock you up inside my heart?
I want to lock you up inside my heart
What do I do to lock up inside my heart?
I want to lock you up
I want to lock you up inside my heart

Charli XCX

Charlotte Emma Aitchison (born 2 August 1992), known professionally as Charli XCX, is an English singer-songwriter known for her eclectic style. She began making music at fourteen, and her debut release was a 2008 limited-edition album aptly titled 14.

By 2010, Charli signed to Atlantic Records, and released her debut single “Stay Away” in May 2011. She released her “real” debut album, True Romance, in 2013. The record met critical acclaim but failed to attain much commercial success. Charli’s true breakthrough came with the release of hit collaborations like Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy” and Icona Pop’s “I Love It.”

In April 2014, Charli found solo success with “Boom Clap,” which was featured on the soundtrack of The Fault in Our Stars. It’s now certified triple platinum in the United States and gold in her native United Kingdom. Her sophomore album, Sucker, was a pop-punk oriented effort and enjoyed more success than her debut. “Break The Rules,” “Doing It” (featuring Rita Ora), and “Famous” all performed well on the UK singles chart.
