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

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 and the tape
See, 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

[Chorus]
