Civil Wars, The - Tip Of My Tongue Lyrics






You're a red string tied to my finger
A little love letter I carry with me
You're sunlight
Smoke rings and cigarettes
Outlines and kisses from silverscreens

Oh
Dear never saw you comin'
Oh
My
Look what you have done
You're my favorite song
Always on the tip of my tongue

You own me with whispers like poetry
Your mouth is a melody I memorize
Mmm, so sweet
I hear it echo everwhere I go
Day and night

Oh
Dear never saw you comin'
Oh
My
Look what you have done
You're my favourite song
Always on the tip of my tongue
The tip of my tongue

Ooh
Mmm
Mmm

Oh
Dear
Never saw you comin'
Oh
My
Look what you have done
You're my favorite song
Always on
Oh
Oh

Oh
Dear
Never saw you comin'
Oh
My
Look what you've done
Oh
You're my favorite song
Always on the tip of my tongue

Ooh
Ooh
Ooh

    The Red String of Fate, also referred to as the Red String of Marriage. Often, in Japanese culture, it is thought to be tied around the little finger. The two people connected by the red thread are destined lovers, regardless of place, time, or circumstances. This magical cord may stretch or tangle, but never break.

    THE CIVIL WARS - TIP OF MY TONGUE (LYRICS)

  82. S.... M....

    Only these people can make these cheesy lines sound so sweet :3

    S.... M....

    cheesy, really. I usually don't take comments personal lol. I would love for someone to say these things to me, even if they didn't sing them

    S.... M....

    @o0LoveLove0o you know I'm not calling it cheesy, yes?.... I'm confused as to how the other person thinks this is cheesy... There's nothing cheesy about it...it's lovely & a bit cute....cheesy is saying something cliché... Like, "it must have hurt" ... "Falling from heaven" ... You know...not something like this!

    S.... M....

    Call me Cheddar!!!

  83. V.... B....

    they prolly broke up because they guy felt threatened by Joy's success and her amazing voice....its always the guy.. SMH

  84. K.... F....

    Always...... on.... the tip of my tounge...

  85. R.... I....

    This is my new fav song it's so good!

  86. L.... E....

    I love the swing in this song-- good rithum

  87. X.... T....

    i love this song but  (Dance with me) is still my favorite song by them.

  88. R.... M....

    This is like a slowed down version of Killer Queen by Queen with different words

    R.... M....

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed

  89. J.... B....

    Elizabeth, what I hear in regards to your comment is Queen -- Killer      Verse:  Caviar and cigarettes
     Well versed in etiquette.  And the melody picks up this verse: Gunpowder, gelatin  Dynamite with a laserbeam  Guaranteed to blow your mind.  Shrugs, my take on it.

  90. C.... D....

    i could listen to this song on repeat <3

  91. e.... c....

    I feel like I've heard this before somewhere
    like specifically the "smoke rings and cigarettes" line that entire part those few words, the accompaniment there, the tempo, I know I've heard it somewhere but I can't remember where and it's tearing mE APART

    e.... c....

    @Elizabeth Crisp Me too! I don't know what it's called exactly, it's on the tip of the tongue

    e.... c....

    maybe coffee and cigarettes by never shout never?

    e.... c....

    Not sure but it could be "girl with the red balloon" (also by civil wars)... talks about cigarette smoke etc

    e.... c....

    literally exact same! And it did indeed turn out to be killer queen, it matches quite perfectly

    e.... c....

    schube98.. yeah, the caviar and cigarettes line..

  92. M.... &....

    Woo, this is quite marvelous!

  93. A.... C....

    💙💜

  94. B.... G....

    I miss them :( <3
