Tongue Tied

from The Early Year by Saint Small

/

about

Written by Jim McGuinn Slusarek. Everyone has a moment that changes their life. This was mine.

lyrics

Tongue tied and shy
I looked into your big brown eyes
And my well rehearsed resolve collapsed again

“Don’t be coy, you silly boy”
I wanted you to say
But you never would, you never could, you never did anyway

My aim was always true
Even if I never kissed you
I always wanted to
No regrets for what never was
I only want you to know
You’re still with me - wherever I go

That long - hot summer
Wished I was - Joe Strummer
I only Clashed with my tie, boombox high, in the sky

So you moved to California
Where the girls don’t they warn ya
But I’m sending my thanks and hello to you tonight

My aim was always true
Even if I never kissed you
I always wanted to
No regrets for what never was
I only want you to know
You’re still with me - wherever I go

Those days in your apartment
Drinking wine and listening to the Clash
So far in the past
Two years older and so much bolder than
This high school boy
We searched and destroyed

Tongue tied and shy
I looked into your big brown eyes
And my well rehearsed resolve collapsed again
