Locked & Loaded
So Contagious Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We're moving, pedal to the floor
It's a new day for what's been done before
I've got a new song singing in my head
Let it out, the words we never said
I've got this locked and loaded
Find a way for me to show it
Soon everyone will know it
They'll be singing along
We've got nothing to lose
I'm thinking

Every line is just a new way
To make this night end up at your place
Let's make a secret, I know you feel it
You've got me going down
Girl I'm so tired of waiting, let's just promise
This is all we ever wanted
You've got the key to my heart make it start, start
Baby turn me on

Wake up, there's so much left to see
This night was made for you and me
Close your lips not a word you'll have to say
Gotta go, gotta run, gotta get away
I've go this locked and loaded
A little smirk that you'll never notice
I let it show just so you will know it
You'll be singing along

We got nothing to lose I'm thinking
Every line is just a new way
To make this night end up at your place
Let's make a secret, I know you feel it
You've got me going down
Girl I'm so tired of waiting, let's just promise
This is all we ever wanted
You've got the key to my heart make it start, start
Baby turn me on

Looking back on the notes I never read
Three simple words that we never should have said
Another song that's still ringing in my head
Another song that's still ringing in my head

I'll write a song to say I'll miss you
So sing along, let's make a wish tonight
This won't be the last time
No this won't be the last time
And when you wake I'll just be a memory
I'll drive away but you'll know the melody
And next time you'll sing to me
Whoah ah oh ah oh, Whoah ah ah oh oh

Every line is just a new way
To make this night end up at your place
Let's make a secret, I know you feel it
You've got me going down
Girl I'm so tired of waiting, let's just promise
This is all we ever wanted




You've got the key to my heart make it start, start
Baby turn me on
