Cover art for Everything Must Go lyrics by Taking Back Sunday

We found a house with a yard and moved all of my things in and most of your things in and honey i was proud of it yeah honey i was proud of you...

You quote the good book when it's convenient but you don't have the sense, no you don't have the sense to tie your tangled tongue instead you're slashing through the mud

some boxes, that hand-me-down couch and chair that used to be at your church we borrowed them from there a cabinet record player with nothing but James Taylor tore the carpets from the corners to put in that hard wood floor I'd be a fool to of asked for more

You quote the good book when it's convenient but you don't have the sense, no you don't have the sense to tie your tangled tongue instead you're slashing through the mud

You quote the good book when it's convenient but you don't have the sense, no you don't have the sense to tie your tangled tongue instead you're slashing through the mud

(Yeah honey i was proud of you... instead you're slashing through...)

The love you had was good enough The past that we were stuck between beside myself i stop to think, oh lord what have i done

You quote the good book when it's convenient but you don't have the sense, no you don't have the sense to tie your tangled tongue instead you're slashing through the mud

You quote the good book when it's convenient but you don't have the sense, no you don't have the sense to tie your tangled tongue instead you're slashing through the mud

Mhm, "Slashing through the mud" makes more sense. because 'you don't have the sense to tie your tangles tongue" means that the person talks crap (for lack of a better word) about whatever. "Slashing mud" would mean ruining his name, if you think about it.
