“Tongue Tied” talks about how she was at a loss for words after being infatuated with someone. It’s a song to relate to when we get excited and over-analyze every little thing we say and do around our crush.
[Verse 1]
I fell like dominoes
The moment I saw you
It felt mechanical
Eyes lit up like a fuse
But I can't help myself
Feeling feelings all too soon
I want nobody else
Nobody in this room
[Pre-Chorus]
So I tell myself
Don't be shy
Walking confident in a straight line
One drink, two steps
Left, right
Head up high
(Speak)
[Chorus]
I'm really bad at first impressions
I never know what to say
'Cause I get tongue ti-i-ied, i-ied in my brain
Can we start with twenty questions?
Or we can dance ourselves away?
'Cause I get tongue ti-i-ied, i-ied in my brain
[Verse 2]
Got glitter in my hair
Can you brush it off of me?
Act like I don't care
But I'm crushing seriously (Seriously)
Say, say a little prayer (Hail Mary)
Gotta get you on your knees
So we're both unaware
Of what is happening
[Pre-Chorus]
So I tell myself
Don't be shy
Walking confident in a straight line
One drink, two steps
Left, right
Head up high
(Speak)
[Chorus]
I'm really bad at first impressions
I never know what to say
'Cause I get tongue ti-i-ied, i-ied in my brain
Can we start with twenty questions?
Or we can dance ourselves away?
'Cause I get tongue ti-i-ied, i-ied in my brain
[Post- Chorus]
Tied, tied, tongue tied
Tied, tied, tongue tied
[Bridge]
Got me stuck on the edge of my seat now
Hanging onto every word leaving your mouth
Wish that I could be a mind-reader somehow
Like now
Maybe I'm slightly infatuated
Always love at first sight, call it fake shit
Call me tongue tied, don't know how to say it
Say it
[Chorus]
I'm really bad at first impressions
I never know what to say
'Cause I get tongue ti-i-ied, i-ied in my brain
Can we start with twenty questions?
Or we can dance ourselves away?
'Cause I get tongue ti-i-ied, i-ied in my brain

I got to the studio and met the two producers and was instantly word vomiting a whole bunch of random shit. When I meet new people I either say way too much or can’t get out any words. I kept going into the bathroom to calm myself down and I wro...
