Tied Down Lyrics

[Verse 1]
These days, the lovers trade their places
Dancing all around each other's chairs
I can see the numbness on their faces
Jealousy fills up their hearts in pairs
So, please, could I be selfish with your body?
'Cause I don't think I could share you with nobody

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, when I have you
I'm gonna brand you with my lips
And all of the world will know that you're mine now
We'll never lose faith
'Cause we'll never forget this taste
My love has the power to keep you tied down

[Chorus]
Oh, I'll get you tied down, tied down
Oh, I'll get you tied down, tied down

[Verse 2]
Oh, late at night, you'll hear the screaming echo
But we all pretend we never heard the cries in the daytime
Don't you worry, my touch won't leave you hollow
I'm never gonna let you change your mind
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, when I have you
I'm gonna brand you with my lips
And all of the world will know that you're mine now
We'll never lose faith
'Cause we'll never forget this taste
My love has the power to keep you tied down (Oh)

[Chorus]
Oh, I'll get you tied down, tied down
Oh, I'll get you tied down, tied down
Oh, I'll get you tied down, tied (Oh)
Oh, I'll get you tied down, tied down

[Bridge]
Don't be afraid to leave your mark
Give me the scars to remind me
Just how good you are (How good you are)
And if your faith turns into doubt
Pull me close, so I know
That it's enough to keep you tied down

[Chorus]
Oh, I'll get you tied down, tied down
Oh, I'll get you tied down, tied down
Oh, I'll get you tied down, tied down
Oh, I'll get you tied down, tied down
[Outro]
Tied down
Oh

About

Genius Annotation

“Tied Down describes the fickle nature of relationships and the difficulty with which loyalty and passion are maintained. I wrote Tied Down partially out of anxiety, but also out of deeper convictions that I have about modern day intimacy. It’s really a reflection of how I think things are, and how I want them to be." – Jaymes Young
