Bottled Up Tight Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I may be loose, I'm not a cannon
But I can be quiet saying my name
There are the weights, where is the balance
Maybe everyone's to blame

[Verse 2]
My heart and my mind have been with me always
But not long enough to keep them in mind
I know that my mind has both good and bad days
But my heart wins every time

[Chorus]
I feel the fire
I see a flame, set me alight
Bring me desire, bottled up tight
Like caging in the ocean
Dousing the sun, download the sky
Bring me emotion, bottled up tight

[Verse 3]
I count when I can the people who walk by
Imagine their paths crossing with mine
And maybe it's true we're part of a blood line
But we walk like we're pretty much blind
[Chorus]
I feel the fire
I see a flame, set me alight
Bring me desire, bottled up tight
Like caging in the ocean
Dousing the sun, download the sky
Bring me emotion, bottled up tight

[Chorus]
I feel the fire
I see a flame, set me alight
Bring me desire, bottled up tight
Like caging in the ocean
Dousing the sun, download the sky
Bring me emotion, bottled up tight

[Outro]
I feel a fire, bring me desire
I feel a fire, bottled up tight
Like caging the ocean, your flame my emotion
And give me devotion, bottled up tight
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
