Not All Knots

[verse]
We met completely by coincidence.
I just happened to be wearing the right shirt.
Said you knew someone in that band,
I said “let’s keep in touch”
I followed up in fear that you wouldn’t.
I make a bold pass and we both laugh
and for a minute yeah, you get real serious.
Said you’re working on love with someone already.
like you live in the same house and you’re damn right that seems pretty serious.
So I’m sorry I never got back to you
but with some short replies.
[bridge]
Who'd ever let you go
Who’d ever let you go
Who would let you go
[Chorus]
Not all knots will stay tight
Some of them will loosen over time
seen them back out
seen them pull through
Losing everything they held onto
I'm losing everything I held on to too
[verse]
It had been about a year since, but I still remember how sincere you felt then.
Spent every penny I had on extra gas so I come up and get you.
Those soft eyes like sunrise in my apartment Van in some mountain town.
No one has seen me like you.
But weekends end
My still favorite memory
I try real hard to explain I've got nothing
To offer I’m a pretty broke kid
With a more ripped up background
Now we meet here in the foreground, for what?
Now you know I'm not kidding
[bridge]
Why would I lie
Oh, why would I lie?
Like why would I lie?
[Chorus]
Not all knots will stay tight
Some of them loosen over time
I’ve seen them back out
I’ve seen them pull through
Losing everything they held onto
[verse over chorus]
I was hoping maybe we could stay real strong, for a while then, maybe all at once, I’d be ready for the eventual, inevitable, unravel.
As long as it’s both of us I think I can give it up.
I just don’t wanna do this without you.
I just didn’t wanna do this without.
Sometimes I wish we would have left it there,
That mountain town, in my apartment van. Maybe you’d still think of me as perfect.
Maybe you’d still think of me as perfect.

[verse]
Driving through this antique town
Talk about a Victorian house
The quality of those days
Well, it’s all been replaced
By quantity, we’re all just thrown it away
I watched your mouth make connection with a metaphor
Your eyes shoot back and forth
Like someone you know has said those words before.
[Chorus]
Am I still your throwback
Am I still your favorite memories
My backs been thrown out
Tryin to carry around your lean
Now everybody wants some
Yeah, it’s the whole town
With pitchforks and torches
Lighting up the front of my house
[verse]
It’s always late when you come around.
You’re in my dreams. You’re the small sounds of my house
That I can’t explain,
I just brush it off
Like I don’t hear your footsteps
comin’ down the hall
I just Imagine I must just be imagining
Feelings surface I do my best to drown it out
but I cry every time I watch fox and the hound
[Chorus]
Am I still your throwback
Am I still your favorite memories
My backs been thrown out
Tryin to carry around your lean
Now everybody wants some
Yeah, it’s the whole town
With pitchforks and torches
Lighting up the front of my house
[break]
Do you still lye in bed awake at night struggling to sleep
do you still Count the bad things, that you can’t change, that no one will seem to ever be able to change
Do you still wait for the dreams to come and sweep you off your feet like you used to do for me
do you still think of me
The Curtain drops
They stand and applaud
What a closing scene
I’ve never felt such a heavy feeling
