Daniel Gallup - Tongue Tied Lyrics

I like the way you introspectively look at the dance tiles
No one's gotten to you yet but I bet I could make you smile
Don't look for another lover who's gonna waste your while
Sorry if I'm upfront but discretion is juvenile
You've been staring at the exit for hours but you are here still
You're better judgement's against me you're angsty I like you let's chill

Staring at the clock the night is almost over
Then you say you wanna talk and you pull me in closer
Say you loved meeting me but you gotta go soon
I can't believe you're gonna leave I know I gotta implore you to stay
Ask for your hand one more dance and you say I think I have time
I am so happy that you took a chance and I'll make a little romance before I call it night

I ask if I'll see her again I'll be patiently waiting
Says she doesn't wanna make anything concrete she hates premeditation
Yeah she knows she has me wants to build anticipation
She gives me a kiss on the cheek as some form of gratification

I know that I've done this rodeo before
But there's something altogether different there's something that I can't ignore
She's got me tongue tied and terrified I question every move I make
I've gone from suave to stumbling and I think that I might break

Now our eyes meet each other and a new feeling pervades me
And when you come up to greet me all words escape me
I put my hand on your hand as if to belay me
Cause I feel these butterflies in my stomach are gonna take me away
Got a crazy look in her eyes I don't know what to do
I grab her hand and spin her like I've got something to prove

She starts going on a rant about America's consumerism
But I'm too busy looking at her eyes they are the bluest gems
I've ever seen and these lights illuminate them
I am so enamored this could be my vocation
Suddenly she leaves without telling me she doesn't even say goodbye
I knew this wouldn't be a breeze but with this girl everything seems to go awry
So I sit right on the floor and I do some contemplation
Why do I go with these girls that always keep me estimating?
I expected a cryptic wink, some form of validation
I guess good things come to those who wait, but I tend to be impatient

I know that I've done this rodeo before
But there's something altogether different there's something that I can't ignore
She's got me tongue tied and terrified I question every move I make
I've gone from suave to stumbling and I think that I might break

She charges back in the door
Like waves crashing on the shore

I know that I've done this rodeo before
But there's something altogether different there's something that I can't ignore
She's got me tongue tied and terrified I question every move I make
I've gone from suave to stumbling and I think that I might break
