🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Now I got you in my space
  • I won't let go of you
  • Got you shackled in my embrace
  • I'm latching on to you

Sing the opening verse

  • You lift my heart up
  • When the rest of me is down
  • You, you enchant me, even when you're not around
  • If there are boundaries, I will try to knock them down
won'tlatchingwe're
