Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don't have to leave anymore
What I have is right here
Spend my nights and days before
Searching the world for what's right here
[Verse 2]
Underneath and unexplored
Islands and cities I have looked
Here, I saw
Something I couldn't overlook
[Chorus]
I am yours now
So now I don't ever have to leave
I've been found out
So now I'll never explore
[Verse 3]
See what I've done
That bridge is on fire
Back to where I've been
I'm froze by desire
No need to leave
[Verse 4]
Where would I be
If this were to go under?
That's a risk I'd take
I'm froze by desire
As if a choice I'd make
[Chorus]
And I am yours now
So now I don't ever have to leave
I've been found out
So now I'll never explore
[Chorus]
I am yours now
I am yours now
So now I don't ever have to leave
Ever have to leave
I've been found out
I've been found out
So now I'll never explore
[Outro]
So now I'll never explore
