Tongue Tied in Neon (versie 2)

Intro

Bassline in my chest

Verse 1

Spill the bottle, let it shake on the counter

Shiny rim against your palm

Neon cutting through the smoke outside

Every window's got a heartbeat that I own

Pre-Chorus

So tell me again why we never take off running

Tell me again what you're waiting for

Chorus

Tongue tied in neon, tongue tied in neon

Hands up against the ceiling fan and I don't care if it's over

Tongue tied in neon, tongue tied in neon

Bass is making a map that we can't ignore

Verse 2

Sweat on the collar of your leather jacket

Every step you take is getting us closer to nothing at all

I try to talk but my words keep catching in my throat

So I just lean forward and let the beat be the truth

Pre-Chorus

So tell me again why we never take off running

Tell me again what you're waiting for

Chorus

Tongue tied in neon, tongue tied in neon

Hands up against the ceiling fan and I don't care if it's over

Tongue tied in neon, tongue tied in neon

Bass is making a map that we can't ignore

Bridge

Maybe this isn't about leaving at all

Maybe it's just about staying here for a little while longer

No need to say what happens next or why we're stuck

Just let the kick drum keep us company till the sun comes up

Chorus

Tongue tied in neon, tongue tied in neon

Hands up against the ceiling fan and I don't care if it's over

Tongue tied in neon, tongue tied in neon

Bass is making a map that we can't ignore
