I saw your freckles on the shoulders
Bm
Of a stranger today

A
And my heart leapt, my heart leapt
I saw the sickle of your dimple

Slice the side of her face

And my heart leapt, my heart leapt
But then she faced me while we wrestled
Bm
For our place on the train

I kept out of her way

On On the subway today

So my heart keeps leapin' on

On my 4-track today

On the spin and the tape

See, my tongue tied, my tongue tied
Verse 4

The words are small and insignificant,

Confused and cliche

I saw my promise and potential

On my best goddamn day

My tied tongue tumbles on
