Tongue Tied

It’s not like I ignore you on purpose I’m afraid that I’ll miss some of the words When we’re singing along to your car radio At the stoplight between my house and yours [Chorus] And I was tongue tied Skipping over sentences Not using my words right I was tongue tied Erasing every comma so all my thoughts collide Where do the words go when I can’t find them? The same place as the lipstick I just bought And the t-shirt that I took when you were sleeping And you hid away when I got caught [Chorus] The highway construction sprawls out like the sky We sit in your car and count the lights I’m always late because they’re building lines Like from my heart to my mind Skipping over sentences Not using my words right I was tongue tied Erasing every comma so all my thoughts collide
