Tongue Tied Songtext
von Trout Fishing in America

Tongue tied, I tried not to talk,
My stomach was tied up in (k)nots.
Not doing this about not doing that,
And not doing what I should not.
But if you′re thinking I'm sorry, I′m not.
Running the distance and carrying a torch,
Putting out flames, leaving lights on the porch.
I see through the foolish but still can be fooled
To thinking I'm something I'm not.
But if you′re thinking I′m sorry, I'm not.
Tongue tied, I tried not to say what I meant,
But the truth blurted out ′bout a hundred percent.
You can beat on the door but you can't make a dent
Thinking you′re something you're not.
And if you′re thinking I'm sorry, I'm not.
Balance the weight of a careless caress
With anticipation of loving I miss.
I see through the foolish but still can be fooled
To thinking I′m something I′m not.
And if you're thinking I′m sorry, I'm not.


Hey...
Tongue tied.
It repeats itself, over and over, it repeats itself.
It repeats itself, before you know it,
it repeats itself. (Tongue tied, I tried not to talk,)
My stomach was tied up in (k)nots.
Not doing this about not doing that (It
repeats itself, over and over, it repeats itself.)
And not doing what I should not.
But if you′re thinking I'm sorry, I′m not.
I'm running the distance and carrying a torch,
Putting out flames, leaving lights on the porch.
I see through the foolish but still can be fooled
To thinking I'm something I′m not.
But if you′re thinking I'm sorry, I′m not.
Hey...
Tongue tied, I tried not to say what I meant,
But the truth blurted out 'bout a hundred percent.
You can beat on the door but I can′t pay the rent.
Thinking I'm something I′m not.
And if you're thinking I'm sorry, I′m not.
If you′re thinking I'm sorry, I′m sorry,
I'm sorry, I′m sorry, I'm sorry, I′m not.
