Maxïmo Park - Sharp Tongue Lyrics

I never laid my
Green eyes upon you
Until the moment
You asked me to

I never laid my
Bare hands upon you
Until the moment
You asked me to

My love I couldn't be
A happier me than the one you now see
It's hard to believe
The youth that I was fell so far from the tree

I never shared my
True nature with you
Until the evening
You asked me to

My love I couldn't be
A happier me than the one you now see
It's hard to believe
The youth that I was fell so far from the tree

There are so many ways to misunderstand
My sharp tongue
And here comes another one, and another one

There are so many ways to misunderstand
My sharp tongue
And here comes another one
And there goes another one, and another one

I seek your consent
Before takin' action
It's how this thing started
So far never ending

I didn't intend to
Fly off the handle
Amend my behavior
When you ask me to

My love I couldn't be
A happier me than the one you now see
It's hard to believe
The youth that I was fell so far from the tree

There are so many ways to misunderstand
My sharp tongue
And here comes another one, and another one

There are so many ways to misunderstand
My sharp tongue
And here comes another one
And there goes another one, and another one
