Lyrics
HEARTSTRINGS
VERSE 1
Sit in the window seat, something seems incomplete
See beyond the dirty pane. At home and alone again.
Way too far gone to stay, too scared to go away.
Ends will fray, words will sting, that will run out the string.
CHORUS
You've got your heartstrings tied in a knot
Tied up and tangled in a strange plot
You fell in a trap, ready or not
You've got your heartstrings tied in a knot
VERSE 2
Roll it up in a ball, then go and undo it all.
Stretch it out as it goes, just how far -- no one knows
It don't roll in a straight line, it will be a twisted spline.
Ends will fray, words will sting, that will run out the string.
CHORUS
VERSE 3
Starts with a piece of string, sticks, bits and other things.
They get tangled in a knot, like the feelings that you've got.
Everybody makes a plan, every woman, every man
Ends will fray, words will sting, that will run out the string.
CHORUS + OUTRO
You've got my heartstrings tied in a knot
Tied up and tangled in a strange plot
I fell in a trap, ready or not
You've got my heartstrings tied in a knot
You've got my heartstrings tied in a knot
You've got my heartstrings tied in a knot
