Hanging By My Tongue
I got less road ahead
than I left behind
but I’ll give you every last mile
I keep chasin’ after you
selling you the sun
but you ain’t buyin’ tired old lines
Maybe you don’t wanna hear my heart
maybe I’m out of time?
Hanging by my tongue
I keep holding on
tripping over the words
of this twisted love song -
Hanging by my tongue
can’t say right for sayin’ wrong
wrap me up in knots
Hanging by my tongue
I got less days to give
than have been and gone
but they’re still my best days to come
I keep askin’ is this real
am I just a fool
some day that smile might cut and run
Maybe you want me to want you more
maybe my pleadin’s done?
Hanging by my tongue
I keep holding on
tripping over the words
of this twisted love song -
Hanging by my tongue
can’t say right for sayin’ wrong
wrap me up in knots
Hanging by my tongue
I keep runnin’ - you keep hidin’
you turn me off - turn me on again
no deceivin’ - I’ll keep believin’
you’re gonna save me in the end
Hanging by my tongue
I keep holding on
tripping over the words
of this twisted love song -
Hanging by my tongue
can’t say right for sayin’ wrong
wrap me up in knots
Hanging by my tongue
