Mumble
Can I say a single word?
It’s not so hard to go unheard
To be stuck without a voice this time
Despite all the others
Where I spoke cohesively
No problems there, came naturally
But a thing you mentioned before
Seems to stop me
When I jump the gun
I’ll be swallowing my tongue
Even though I choke
You know what I mean
When I say something that I
Regret until the end of time
While my consciousness is stuck
Screaming at me from the sidelines
And if I could have an hour
Compose my response in the shower
Well then I could learn to cool down
And seem well thought out
When I jump the gun
I’ll be swallowing my tongue
Even though I choke
You know what I mean
When I can’t be understood
When you mishear something good
Did I say that you were wrong?
Did I say a thing at all?
Keep it inside, it’s alright, you could stay quiet
When I jump the gun
I’ll be swallowing my tongue
Even though I choke
You know
