Tongue Tied

Vertical I'm moving like there's no escape
But my mind is running forwards not away
Every smile I missed and dwelt on it for days
And every time I risked it all but failed
Softly breaking down but I'm still listening
Is this the part where I would let you in

There's too much weight
I cannot change
Since I have begun
You're not the only one

Snowflakes on your face
It's falling into place
But still I won't feel home
It's melting in the sun
My time has overrun
And I won't wait for no one

Tie my tongue to you
I'm sleeping through my youth
So when I don't feel young
I won't know who I've become

Dropped the ball I'm twisted up in my own head
But now is not the time to rearrange
Living the same day just like I'm on repeat
Rewind again and relive every beat

There's too much weight
I cannot change
Since I have begun
You're not the only one

Snowflakes on your face
It's falling into place
But still I won't feel home
It's melting in the sun
My time has overrun
And I won't wait for no one

Tie my tongue to you
I'm sleeping through my youth
So when I don't feel young
I won't know who I've become
