[Verse 1]

You are in my head

When my heart's at war

And if I'm ever scared

I'll breathe the air in front of your door

And I will never knock

That's as far as I'll go

It's only in my dreams

When I say what I mean

But I'll get damn near close

Yeah I'll get there

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

[Verse 2]

And I'm a stubborn one

I'll hide as best I can

Got this bright idea

If I show my fear

I'll be less of a man

And I think too much

And I don't feel enough

With a gun to my head

And I might confess

That it's you I love

Oooh, my hands are tied

Around you each night

[Bridge]

And you made me into what you want

And it may seem like I fled from you once

It made you fall further from this

I won't run

[Verse 3]

Cause I'm here right now

If you'd take the time

To let me stumble through

How I feel about you

As I mess up my lines

And you'll hear me out

Let's just say you will

Cause if I mouth these words

When I crash and burn

Will you take me still?

[Chorus]

My hands are tied

Around you each night

My hands are tied

Around you each night
