Jailhouse Lyrics

Couple nights in the bed
Couple thoughts in my head
I don’t care what he said but
I’m still here and you wanna say

That I’ll be better off without you
Giving up when we ain’t tried two times
But my phone’s buzzing is it bad news?
I heard rumours are they true?

Late nights, white lies
Sipping drinks with that cold ice
Get me numb, get me high
Cool rides, wide eyes
Cruising down the east side
On the run, you know why
New girls photos
Waiting on that phone call
I want you like you wanted me before
And I can’t hide it anymore

You got me in the jailhouse
Locked me in the jailhouse
Don’t know how to get out
Get out, gotta get out
You got me in the jailhouse
Locked me in the jailhouse
Don’t know how to get out
Get out, gotta get out
In the jailhouse
In the jailhouse

Couple of days since you called
Think I don’t care but you’re wrong
I ain’t ever getting past you
I’m a mess and I wanna say

That I’m never gonna get right
And I’m still awake at midnight waiting
For you to realise you messed up
Is this ever gonna stop?

Late nights, white lies
Sipping drinks with that cold ice
Get me numb, get me high
Cool rides, wide eyes
Cruising down the east side
On the run, you know why
New girls photos
Waiting on that phone call
I want you like you wanted me before
And I can’t hide it anymore

You got me in the jailhouse
Locked me in the jailhouse
Don’t know how to get out
Get out, gotta get out
You got me in the jailhouse
Locked me in the jailhouse
Don’t know how to get out
Get out, gotta get out
In the jailhouse
In the jailhouse

When you gonna
Gonna set me free?
When you gonna
Take the chains off me?

You got me in the jailhouse
Locked me in the jailhouse
Don’t know how to get out
Get out, gotta get out
You got me in the jailhouse
Locked me in the jailhouse
Don’t know how to get out
Get out, gotta get out
In the jailhouse
In the jailhouse
In the jailhouse
In the jailhouse
