When my eyes aren't open wide
|
When it's hard to make the time
|
When words are so uptight
|
Thoughts collide
|
If answers are unsure
|
I've been through this before
|
And an ocean fills my mind
|
I'm so tired
|
|
You can make a face at me
|
But it's more than I can hide
|
You can place it all on me
|
And even though I try
|
I am speaking slowly
|
But inside I am only wanting you to hear me
|
|
Too late to make a sound
|
And I can't drown it out
|
Too much to say aloud
|
I'm tongue-tied
|
|
Too many strangers in the crowd
|
Only your face I have found
|
But with all the lines I try
|
I never find
|
|
You can make a face at me
|
But it's more than I can hide
|
You can place it all on me
|
And even though I try
|
I am speaking slowly
|
But inside I am only wanting you to hear me
|
|
Too late to make a sound
|
And I can't drown it out
|
Too much to say aloud
|
I'm tongue-tied
|
