Tongue-tied
Moonstar88 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It’s getting nowhere
This feeling inside is making me so high
I’ve got to tell him now
Cause I can’t wait till the end of time
His smile is my ice cream
It sends shivers down my spine
I’ve got to tell him now
Cause I might blow up inside out
Oooops…
I blurted out
Oooops…
Got all tongue-tied
He didn’t hear me right
Guess I didn’t say it right




Well I guess it’s fine
There will be another time
