Tighten Up

(album: Alice Kristiansen - 2014)

I wanted love, I needed love
Most of all, most of all
Someone said true love was dead
And I was bound to fall, bound to fall
For you
What else can I do?

Take my badge but my heart remains
Loving you, baby child
Tighten up on your reigns
You're running wild, running wild
It's true

Sick for days in so many ways
I'm aching now, I'm aching now
It's times like these I need relief
Please show me how, show me how
To get right
Yeah, it's out of sight

When I was young and moving fast
Nothing slowed me down
Oh slowed me down
Now I let the others pass
I've come around
Oh come around
'Cause I've found

Living just to keep going
Going just to be sane
All the while not knowing
It's such a shame
I don't need to get steady
Know just how I feel
Telling you to be ready
My dear
