Verse 1

I saw your freckles on the shoulders of a stranger today

And my heart leapt, my heart leapt

I saw the sickle of your dimple slice the side of her face

And my heart leapt, my heart leapt

But then she faced me while we wrestled for our place on the train

Kabuki makeup, a labret ring I kept out of her way

You're not that actress playing dress-up on the subway today

So my heart keeps leapin' on

Verse 2

I tried to catch you in a couplet on my 4-track today

But my tongue tied, my tongue tied

I couldn't figure how to fit you on the spin of the tape

So my tongue tied, my tongue tied

The words are small and insignificant,confused and cliche

I saw my promise and potential through my guilt and my shame

I couldn't catch that in a couplet on my best goddamn day

My tied tongue tumbles on

Chorus

Shake and shiver

And laugh like cursing kids

And all our fitful failures

Fit everytime we kiss

So cross your fingers, place your bets

And hold that glow in your face

Let my big mouth ramble on

Interlude

Repeat Chorus
