Padlocks
Verse One
Loving them was like clasping on to sand
I’m not strong because I had to be
I’m strong because I am
But all the strength I have
They still slipped through my grasp
Pre-chorus
Starting over’s hard
With new cracks in your heart
I loved them to my detriment
I’m devil-crossed and Heaven-sent
The sad thing is I’d be there now
If I weren’t banished from those towns
Born and made with staying power
Born and made with staying power
Chorus
So let’s be like two padlocks
Connected to each other
All the force they can muster
Won’t make us come undone
So let’s be like two padlocks
And when they say to let go
We’ll just say, "We can’t though"
Like two becoming one
Verse Two
Loving her was like clasping on to sand
You’re not strong because you had to be
You’re strong because you are
But all the strength you have
She still left you with scars
Pre-chorus
Starting over’s hard
With new cracks in your heart
You loved her to your detriment
You’re devil-crossed and Heaven-sent
The sad thing is you’d be there now
If you weren’t banished from that town
We were made with staying power
We were made with staying power
Chorus
So let’s be like two padlocks
Connected to each other
All the force they can muster
Won’t make us come undone
So let’s be like two padlocks
And when they say to let go
We’ll just say, "We can’t though"
Like two becoming one
Bridge
Some people choose to drift apart when they can’t control the tides
We’ve been fighting against currents every moment of our lives
But I’ve learned to watch them float away if they don’t want to stay
Do you want to stay?
Chorus
So let’s be like two padlocks
Connected to each other
All the force they can muster
Won’t make us come undone
So let’s be like two padlocks
And when they say to let go
We’ll just say, "We can’t though"
Like two becoming one
Ending
Some people choose to drift apart when they can’t control the tides
We’ve been fighting against currents every moment of our lives
