[rev. Aug. 27, 2015]

Aren't you tired, aren't you sleepy (I'm never gonna know)
Can't you see what's wrong with you (it comes with someone)
I am summer, gonna crush us (I'm never gonna know)
Change our skin, leave us ashes

I just wanna know
How long you're going to keep me
Locked out in your empire

??? [1:09] pretty spins my mind (I'm never gonna know)
Racing into steals my time (it comes with someone)
In the action, breaking down (I'm never gonna know)
Moving lightly and ??? [1:35]

I just wanna know
How long you're going to keep me
Locked out in your empire

I just wanna know
How long you're going to keep me
Locked out in your empire

[C] Aren't you tired, aren't you sleepy / [R] ??? [2:37] pretty spins my mind [L](I'm never gonna know)
[C] Can't you see what's wrong with you / [L] Racing into steals my time [R] (it comes with someone)
[C] I am summer, gonna crush us / [L to R] In the action, breaking down [L] (I'm never gonna know)
[C] Change our skin, leave us ashes / [R] Moving lightly and ??? [3:03]

I just wanna know
How long you're going to keep me
Locked out in your empire

(Never gonna know)
(Never gonna know)

I just wanna know
How long you're going to keep me
Locked out in your empire
