Wound Up Tight

Well, there's one thing I don't know

And my heart is beating overtime

I feel it like something on piano wire

I stop and stutter and I utter out and backtrack

It does me good to go with the sound

I just got to thinking this would be a face first

But it won't change, it's just the human race

Wound up tight

Well, you settle in close quarters in silence and despair now

Walk first, the turn of the phrase leads to a weaker now

Look at all your shoddy wind, from next one to come along

Someone will smile or tell you where you went wrong

I just got to thinking this would be a face first

But it won't change, it's just the human race

Wound up tight

Oh, ooh

Well, who is that man in the corner of the shadows?

Who's he now?

What's that sound?

It's alright

We've been winding it down, now we're getting it up

Or am I just fooling myself?

And even talking it through and we're sweating alone

I'm pouring it all down today

Oh well, my fingers are clenched and I'm talking away

I think it's safe to say

Wound up tight

Wound up tight
