Tongue Tied
Grouplove Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take me to your best friend's house
Roll around this roundabout
Oh yeah
Take me to your best friend's house

I loved you then and I love you now
Oh yeah
Don't take me tongue tied
Don't wave no goodbye

Don't
Take me to your best friend's house
Normally we're making out
Oh yeah

Take me to your best friend's house
I loved you then and I love you now
Don't take me tongue tied
Don't wave no goodbye

Don't
One, two, three, four
Don't leave me tongue tied
Let's stay up all night

I'll get real high
Slumber party; pillow fight
My eyes and your eyes
Like Peter Pan up in the sky

My best friend's house tonight
Let's bump the beats till beddy-bye
Don't take me tongue tied
Don't wave no goodbye

Don't take me tongue tied
Don't kiss me goodnight
Don't
Take me to your best friend's house

Roll around this roundabout
Oh yeah
Take me to your best friend's house
I loved you then and I love you now

Don't leave me tongue tied
Don't wave no goodbye
Don't leave me tongue tied
Don't

Don't leave me tongue tied
Don't wave no goodbye




Don't leave me tongue tied
Don't

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Grouplove's "Tongue Tied" describe a desire for a carefree and spontaneous night with someone the singer loves. The opening lines of "Take me to your best friend's house, Roll around this roundabout" suggest a sense of adventure and playfulness, with an invitation to go somewhere new and unfamiliar. The repetition of "oh yeah" throughout the song adds to this sense of excitement and enthusiasm.


The chorus, with the lines "Don't take me tongue tied, Don't wave no goodbye" suggest a fear of being unable to express oneself or losing the connection with the person they are with. The repetition of the phrase "I loved you then and I love you now" reinforces the idea that this is a longstanding relationship, and the desire to keep that connection alive is strong.


The later lyrics reference a slumber party and pillow fight, adding to the sense of lightheartedness and fun. The overall theme of the song seems to be a desire to live in the moment and enjoy the company of someone they love without any inhibitions or fear of judgment.
