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,
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 nerve, 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
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 down
Talking like I'm falling downstairs, 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
Talking like I'm falling downstairs, talking like I'm falling downstairs
