Lyrics

Knots

I'm restless for now
But not for so long
Hard to justify things
Most the days of all our lives
Our budgets aren't used
Just to keep from drying

But you got in the way
I don't want you to see me running like an animal
'Cause I'm still trying
When you told me to stay
Even though it's a lie
I told you that my hands were full
Just simplifying

You know I'm lying
So uninviting
It's not surprising
You know I'm lying

I'm wrestling with how I waited so long
I was sympathizing
You can tie yourself in knots just trying to be used
Without realizing

But you got in the way
I don't want you to see me running like an animal
'Cause I'm still trying
When you told me to stay
Even though it's a lie
I told you that my hands were full
Just simplifying

I know we talked about it
I know you dreamed about it
I know you thought that I would tell the truth

I know we talked about it
I know you drеamed about it
I still don't think that leaves us any room
You know I'm lying

I know wе talked about it
I know you dreamed about it
I know you thought that I would tell the truth
You know I'm lying

I got my head around it
I was so sure about it
I still don't think that I could tell the truth
You know I'm lying
