These days the lovers trade their places
Dancing all around each others' chairs
I can see the numbness on their faces
Jealousy fills up their hearts in pairs
So please could I be selfish with your body
'Cause I don't think I could share you with nobody

Oh when I have you
I'm gonna brand you with my lips
And all of the world will know that you're mine now
We'll never lose faith 'cause we'll never forget this taste
My love has the power to keep you tied down

Oh, I'll get you tied down, tied down
Oh, I'll get you tied down, tied down

Oh, late at night you'll hear the screaming echo
But we all pretend we never heard the cries in the daytime
But don't you worry, my touch won't leave you hollow
I'm never gonna let you change your mind

Oh when I have you
I'm gonna brand you with my lips
And all of the world will know that you're mine now
We'll never lose faith 'cause we'll never forget this taste
My love has the power to keep you tied down

Oh, I'll get you tied down, tied down
Oh, I'll get you tied down, tied down
Oh, I'll get you tied down, tied
Oh, I'll get you tied down, tied down

Don't be afraid to leave your mark
Give me the scars to remind me just how good you are
(How good you are)
And if your faith turns into doubt pull me closer and know
That it's enough to keep you tied down

Oh, I'll get you tied down, tied down
Oh, I'll get you tied down, tied down
Oh, I'll get you tied down, tied down
Oh, I'll get you tied down, tied down
Tied down

Song facts

"'Tied Down' describes the fickle nature of relationships, and the difficulty with which loyalty and passion is maintained. I wrote Tied Down partially out of anxiety, but also out of deeper convictions that I have about modern day intimacy. It's really a reflection of how I think things are, and how I want them to be." - Jaymes Young
