Bite My Tongue

It's half past nine

On a Friday night

Technically you're wasting my time

But it's you, so you can have all of mine

You pick me up

Your red hair's a little too brushed

The creases on your t-shirt are gone

And I'm onto something wrong

If I wasn't tough, I would be wrecked

So underprepared for what you said next

It started with girl

Ended with friend

Before I'm a mess

I guess I'll bite my tongue

And tell you I'll move on

Gotta tread so carefully

Before I speak

Or I might end up screaming, "I'm the one"

And you know we're not done

Guess I'll wait until you see that she's not what you want

So I'll bite my tongue

No I won't ask how you're feeling about me now

But flying to another country

To be with me, doesn't mean just nothing

And I bet

She's cool

But picturing her in your room

It's an image that'll stay in my brain

And I'll stay wide awake

Counting down the days

Tryna be tough, (but) god I'm a wreck

So underprepared for what you said next

It started with a girl

Ended with a friend

Before I'm a mess

I guess I'll bite my tongue

And tell you I'll move on

Gotta tread so carefully

Before I speak

Or I might end up screaming, "I'm the one"

And you know we're not done

Guess I'll wait until you see that she's not what you want

So I'll bite my tongue

We should be there on the street

Kissing like no one can see

Saying forever with me

But I can't get it through my teeth

We should be there on the street

Kissing like no one can see

Saying forever with me

I guess I'll bite my tongue

And tell you I'll move on

Gotta tread so carefully

Before I speak

Or I might end up screaming, "I'm the one"

And you know we're not done

Guess I'll wait until you see that she's not what you want

So I'll bite my tongue
