Tongue Tied

I met you in the fall, we were falling
I couldn't keep up, we were running
Should we slow down?
When we can barely catch our breath

I couldn't lose track of the moments
I couldn't hold up what you wanted
I couldn't see what's in front of me
So I'm tongue-tied

I don't remember how we started talking
But I kept my hope in a heart-shaped locket
I learned from my past not to take things too fast
Could be on the phone counting constellations
As long as we kept up the conversation
I was in too deep
Couldn't see what's in front of me

Just tell me if this is too much
I've always felt I'm not enough
The closer I get to something
The further I run

But I hope that things are different this time
Yeah, I hope that things are different this time

On the steps of your house where it started
I couldn't hold back what I wanted
That I just might be everything you need

And I'm not used to this attention
So I might lead with misdirection
It doesn't mean that I don't also see (so just tell me)

Just tell me if this is too much
I've always felt I'm not enough
The closer I get to something
The further I run

But I hope that things are different this time
Yeah, I hope that things are different this time
But I hope that things are different this time
Yeah, I hope that things are different this time

We shouldn't dive in without looking below
'Cause the tide could rise higher than we could know
So let's jump feet first without looking back
I'll just cross my fingers and just hope that you will

Just tell me if this is too much
I've always felt I'm not enough
The closer I get to something
The further I run
But I hope that things are different this time
Yeah, I hope that things are different this time
