Tameless Tongues

If I called you by your name, boy

Would you look, would you look, would you look my way?

I'll be singing like a sparrow

Can you feel, can you feel, can you feel it in your veins?

You've got me in your head

You've got me in your lungs

You've got me in your heart

On the tip of your tongue

And you've kept me in the dark

Likewise, you feed me from the ashes

All that's left is a scar ignited by a spark

Don't fake it, I'll peel you like an onion

Let it burn, let it burn let it burn your eyes

You've got me in your head

You've got me in your lungs

You've got me in your heart

On the tip of your tongue

And you've kept me in the dark

When you're laughing and smiling and finally deciding to seek

For the things in your life that have made you so humble and meek

I'll be waiting and scheming to bring you on down to your knees

Bring you back to be lonesome and haunted, begging me please

You've got me in your head

You've got me in your lungs

You've got me in your heart

On the tip of your tongue

And you've kept me in the dark

You've got me in your head

You've got me in your lungs

You've got me in your heart

On the tip of your tongue

And you've kept me in the dark
