Cursed myself as I hit the street
My ego melted at my feet
So I wade into the rising tide
down to the depths of my pride
In this flood of self-defeat
That flows on my retreat.
I tripped on my tongue
on my way out the door
I turned to run,
but got a mouthful of floor
Caught in between
What I say and what I mean.
Caught in between
What I say and what I mean.
And I won’t head for higher ground
Too insecure to turn this ship around
Sinking back into my idiots gloom
A familiar feeling that’ll pass soon
Cause when I’m lost in a dream
I always can float upstream
I bit my tongue
to the one I adore
Tired of tension
Too timid to be your’s
Caught in between
What I say and what I mean.
Caught in between
What I say and what I mean.
