Mona Lisa, Bite Your Tongue Lyrics by Messenger Down

What Should Have Been Said

2014

[Verse 1: Garrett]
Leave it to the broken dreamers to go and ruin your luck
‘Cause you’ve got spunk kid (you've got spunk kid)
But it isn’t enough
A broken heart or two goes so well
With a first class, one way ticket to hell
And you’ll take that plane, or the train, or the bus
And you’ll get there (but on the way you’re causing a fuss)
[Chorus]
You’re the Mona to my Lisa
You’re the bite to my tongue
You’re the dilation to my eyes
You’re every wrong to my right
I know we’re young, but our story’s just begun
[Verse 2: Garrett]
We crack more like drug lords than vanity mirrors
Put twice the effort into our appearance
You’re all that calms the storm when I can’t think
(The smell of your perfume
Could keep me in this room, girl)
The change in you, the change in me
The changing taste of “family”
The future spoke with tongue in cheek
But we still dreamed
(Every trip through the back door
Where your feet can’t touch the floor
Mona Lisa, bite your tongue
We both know where to run)
[Bridge x2]
Your eyes, they gleam
I’m tearing at the seams
What does this mean?
Why doesn’t everybody sing?
[Chorus x2]
You’re the Mona to my Lisa
You’re the bite to my tongue
You’re the dilation to my eyes
You’re every wrong to my right
I know we’re young, but our story’s just begun
[Bridge x2]
Your eyes, they gleam
I'm tearing at the seams
What does this mean?
Why doesn't everybody sing?
