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

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

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

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"
