Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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
