Tongue - tied Talking to my feet When there's nothing better than self-defeat I stop - stall Try to stand tall When whatever I say means nothing at all I walk Through all the steps in my head It made more sense in my head Plain and simple I can't keep climbing I try to find the words but they won't surrender So I lie to you and say that I don't remember Singing like a hurricane Dancing like Fred Astaire Walking like a young John Wayne I'm talking like I'm falling downstairs I'm talking like I'm falling downstairs Stut-ter Mutter to myself That you can't quote something from someone else I duck - swerve Lose my nerves It's on the tip of my tongue so just give me the word and I'll walk Through all the steps in my head Makes more sense in my head Plain and simple I can't keep climbing I try to find the words but they won't surrender So I lie to you and say that I don't remember Singing like a hurricane Dancing like Fred Astaire Walking like a young John Wayne I'm talking like I'm falling down I'm talking like I'm falling downstairs I'm talking like I'm falling downstairs Singing like a hurricane Dancing like Fred Astaire Walking like a young John Wayne I'm talking like I'm falling down I'm talking like I'm falling downstairs Talking like I'm falling downstairs Talking like I'm falling downstairs
