Two Tongues
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
What you give
Or give out
Is the only thing
That really counts
Will you stay?
Here, stay around
And we'll both start
Working this out
But it's not just this
It's everything
You're so hard to reach
And impossible to really read
When you're talking with two tongues in your mouth
And I wish you'd quit this muttering
Beneath your breath
It's killing me
You've not said nothing yet
Who's talking now?
Well I guess Im starting to doubt
Are we lost here?
Are you keeping count?
Are you gonna just let me down?
Well your hearts not in it
It's everywhere
It's plain to see
You're still wondering
What's underneath
You're so curious
It's two strikes and you're out
And Im tiring of this attitude
How you fall to pieces
Like you do
I cant believe you're still talking
With two tongues in your mouth
After all we've been around
Will you hear me out?
You're the only thing
That really counts
