  • Hey oh, never let go of me
    Hold tight, it's gonna get hard to breathe (Hold tight baby)
    Never never let you drown, even if we're going down
    Hey oh, never let go of me
    When I'm sinking

    Loose lips sink ships that's what someone told me
    But this boat will stay afloat for as long as you hold me
    We been through rough water anytime it was tougher
    But the fact I came back to remind you I love ya
    And if that's not enough, well I can one up ya
    I pinky promise touch thumbs I'll never make you suffer
    And all I ask in return is some reciprocation
    I'll be your oxygen when you're running out of patience

    So take a deep breath, and hold it tight
    My heart is yours just reassure me that you'll hold it right
    Don't be offended, I'm just the cautious type
    To always be around and hold you down and never under, like

    Hey oh, never let go of me (Never let go)
    Hold tight, it's gonna get hard to breathe (Hold tight baby, hold tight)
    Never never let you drown (never), even if we're going down (Going down)
    Hey oh, never let go of me
    When I'm sinking

    Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh

    This is my message in a bottle, I hope that you receive it
    If it washes up at your feet then open it and read it
    To whom it may concern, insert your name here
    It's destiny that we were both born in the same year
    Three months apart, but on the same sphere
    Staring at the sun, inhaling the same air
    This type of love we got, they'll never get it
    I'll be the Leo DiCaprio to your Kate Winslet
    Sometimes I panic but I never take it for granted
    I'll hold you 'til my lips turn blue like Jack in Titanic
    And if I lose my grip, then just promise me this
    You'll keep my love in a locket and always rock it, like

    Hey oh, never let go of me (Never let go, never let go)
    Hold tight, it's gonna get hard to breathe (Hold tight mama, hold tight)
    Never never let you drown (never), even if we're going down (Going down)
    Hey oh, never let go of me
    When I'm sinking

    Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh

    There's times where like
    We find it hard
    To hold on to something
    That was never meant to be held onto
    But you let it go
    If it comes back it was meant to be
    If not, just let it be, c'mon

    Hey oh, never let go of me (Never let go, never let go)
    Hold tight, it's gonna get hard to breathe (Hold tight mama, hold tight)
    Never never let you drown (never), even if we're going down (Going down)
    Hey oh, never let go of me
    When I'm sinking

    Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh Writer/s: ANMAR MALIK, BENJAMIN LEVIN, DANIEL OMELIO, TRAVIS MCCOY
