Tongue Tied and shy
I looked into your big brown eyes
And my well rehearsed resolve collapsed again
"Don't be coy you, silly boy"
I wanted you to say
But you never would, you never could, you never did, anyway
My aim was always true
Even if I never kissed you
I always wanted to
I don't regret what never was
I only want you to know
That you're with me, wherever I go
That long hot summer
Wished I was Joe Strummer
I only Clashed with my tie, felt like a child in your eyes
You moved to California
Where the girls they only warn ya
But I'm sending my thanks and hello to you tonight
My aim was always true
Even if I never kissed you
I always wanted to
I don't regret what never was
I only want you to know
That you're with me, wherever I go
Those days in your apartment
Drinking win and listening to the Clash
So far in the past
Two years older and so much bolder than
This high school boy
It's taking me back
Tongue Tied and shy
I looked into your big brown eyes
And my well rehearsed resolve collapsed again
