Tongue Tied

[lightdistiller]

Tongue Tied

You and I had somethin' special
But I mashed you up like a flower petal
You and I speak nearly the queen's perfect English
But we're nowhere even close to monarchy
We're just merely linguists

Tongue Tied - figure eights
Tongue Tied - temporary mates
Tongue Tied - not brazen like Kathy Bates
Tongue Tied - foldin' in on each other's fates

You and I come from different planets
Pas de deux fumblin' twisted pirouettes
You and I hail from varying sides of the tracks
Pointless to argue who's right or wrong
'Cause now there's no turnin' back

Tongue Tied - crumpled rails
Tongue Tied - ties lay missin' nails
Tongue Tied - brakes seem set to fail
Tongue Tied- destined for cheap yard sales

You and I sure have opposin' views
You see reflective candy coated while i only see blues
You and I may of been poured from the very same canister
But you're steppin' on 'em up the stairs while I'm swishin' past 'em down the banister

Tongue Tied - too much passion to be thrashin' 'stead of rehashin' when you cried.

I love the energy of this! It feels like lyrics to a song!
