Lyrics

Wound Up on You

Took me long enough to find you

Took me long enough to get you there

Sometimes I feel like the sunshine lost

And I look for the crumbs you toss

Took me long enough to get past your eyes

Took me long enough to tranquilize

When you'd be laughing inside the storm

I can still feel your mouth so warm

You'll be back when you need someone

You'll pretend it was just for fun

Well, I'm so wound up on you

I'm so wound up on you

I'm so wound up on you

And I'm easy when you need me

Easy when you need me

Took me long enough to get over

Took me long enough to figure out

You never meant to stay around

You never meant to be losing ground

Here she comes with that tip-toe walk

And she's ready just to have a talk

I'm so wound up on you

I'm so wound up on you

I'm so wound up on you

And I'm easy when you need me

Easy when you need me

You'll be back when you need someone

You'll pretend it was just for fun

I'm so wound up on you

I'm so wound up on you

I'm so wound up on you

And I'm easy when you need me

Easy when you need me

I'm so wound up on you

I'm so wound up on you

I'm so wound up on you

And I'm easy when you need me

Easy when you need me

I'm so wound up on you

I'm so wound up on you

I'm so wound up on you

And I'm easy when you need me

Easy when you need me
