Gender Roles – Tip Of My Tongue lyrics

[Verse 1]
Collar on, wander like a dog waiting, orders from above
Sitting at a red light, like a good boy does
Cage shut, handcuffs with no keys, I'm waiting
The signs that I need to know that it's okay to leave

[Chorus 1]
I'm here for now until you say
Those words on the tip of my tongue
And I lost with your direction, everytime
You're gone, I need something, yeah I need something

[Verse 2]
Imprisoned, in shackles that I made up myself
I've got a padlock on my brain
Dreaming of a green light to give me the signs that I need
To know that it's okay to leave

[Chorus 2]
I'm here for now until you say
Those words on the tip of my tongue
And I lost with your direction, everytime
You're gone, I need something
Something I can recognise, I can recognise

[Bridge]
Give me something more familiar
I need a face that I know
Give me cover, give me strength
Give me anything to get through

[Outro]
I'm here for now until you say
Those words on the tip of my tongue
And I lost with your direction, everytime
You're gone, I need something
Something I can recognise, I can recognise
Give me something more familiar
I need a face that I know
Give me cover, give me strength
Give me anything to get through
