Tiger
JOON MOON Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Who's creeping round the corner?
Who's never up to good?
Who's hoping no one finds out?
Carried away, carried away

Who's hoping for the future?
Who's dreaming of the past?
Who's always in the presence?
Carried away, carried away

Who's holding onto someone
Who's hiding how they feel?
Who's slightly maybe in love?
Carried away, carried away

Who's the one, the one they need
The one you hold in high regard
The one who knows and doesn't mind, well
Keep it that way, keep it that way

Keep it close, close, steady
You know who you are
What shoulder and what art
Could twist the sinews of the heart?

Keep it close, close, steady
You know who you are
What shoulder and what art
What shoulder and what
What shoulder and what art
What shoulder and what art
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?

Who's adding up the chances?
Who's closing up the deal?
Who's wishing they could go back
Back to the day, back to the day

Who's running things around here?
Who, may I ask, is this?
Who's dancing round the question?
Dancing away, dancing away?

Who's the one, the one in charge
The one who's calling all the shots
The one who knows and doesn't mind?
Give it away, give it away

Keep it close, close, steady
You know who you are
What shoulder and what art
Could twist the sinews of the heart?

Keep it close, close, steady
You know who you are
What shoulder and what art
Could twist the sinews of the heart?

Keep it close, close, steady
You know who you are
What shoulder and what art (who's the one, the one you need)
Could twist the sinews of the heart?

Keep it close, close, steady
You know who you are
What shoulder and what art
What shoulder and what
What shoulder and what art




What shoulder and what
What shoulder and what art...
