Tongue on the Fence

Verse

Finger on the buzzer, counting down my time

Red glow flashing bright above the fence line

Sweat like rainwater dripping off the roof tonight

I step back, let the crowd move on into the light

Chasing someone else's rhythm, but I'm not too late

Cut to black before the final bell rings

Pre-Chorus

Where do you draw the line?

Amber flashing slow down, where are we?

Two feet in the sand and a world that keeps spinning round

Is it over or is this just getting warm?

Where's the limit when the crowd moves on without me?

Can I still keep running till the lights go off?

Chorus

Tongue on the fence, feeling like I'm floating free

Every heartbeat counting up the seconds I'll be set loose

Tongue on the fence and my whole soul's turning around

This is the rush that keeps me waiting for the sound

Verse

Sneaker scuffs against the curb, the finish line ahead

Strangers cheering louder than anything in my head

No regrets tonight because I know this isn't over yet

Shuffle up to the starting line before it's dark again

Every time you doubt whether your whole self fits inside one breath

Know that the best of you still running somewhere out of reach

Pre-Chorus

Where do you draw the line?

Amber flashing slow down, where are we?

Two feet in the sand and a world that keeps spinning round

Is it over or is this just getting warm?

Where's the limit when the crowd moves on without me?

Can I still keep running till the lights go off?

Chorus

Tongue on the fence, feeling like I'm floating free

Every heartbeat counting up the seconds I'll be set loose

Tongue on the fence and my whole soul's turning around

This is the rush that keeps me waiting for the sound

Bridge

We don't have to know exactly where we're going tonight

Just the rhythm of your footsteps and the stars shining bright

Chorus

Tongue on the fence, feeling like I'm floating free

Every heartbeat counting up the seconds I'll be set loose

Tongue on the fence and my whole soul's turning around

This is the rush that keeps me waiting for the sound
