EN
I saw your freckles on the shoulders Of a stranger today And my heart leapt, my heart leapt I saw the sickle of your dimple Slice the side of her face And my heart leapt, my heart leapt But then she faced me while we wrestled For our place on the train Kabuki makeup, a labret ring I kept out of her way You're not that actress playing dress-up on the subway today So my heart keeps leapin' on I tried to catch you in a couplet On my 4-track today But my tongue tied, my tongue tied I couldn't figure how to fit you On the spin and the tape See, my tongue tied, my tongue tied The words are small and insignificant, Confused and cliche I saw my promise and potential Through my guilt and my shame I couldn't catch that in a couplet On my best goddamn day My tied tongue tumbles on Shake and shiver And laugh like cursing kids And all our fitful failures Fit everytime we kiss So cross your fingers, place your bets And hold that glow in your face Let my big mouth ramble on Shake and shiver And laugh like cursing kids And all our fitful failures Fit everytime we kiss So cross your fingers, place your bets And hold that girl in your face Let my big mouth ramble on
