Tether

You're looking alive

Your smile just seemed much brighter than before

I know you’ll stay for awhile

You'll never let that window show me more

When the window's clouded

You can’t see me anymore

The time that you doubted me

Can't be here like before

Sometimes you gotta let it go

So you can feel much better

Before the things that hold you down

Become the tether

To me is profound the lack of sound

While you scream for something more

Pressing away as we seal our fate

By repeating something more

When the window's clouded

You can't see me anymore

'Times that you doubted me

Can't be here like before

Sometimes you gotta let it go

So you can feel much better

Before the things that hold you down

Become the tether

In this story I'm the little one

The little skinny one, the weaker one

On occasion, I am cumbersome

In the world that you feel welcome on

Maybe you will open up your eyes

Putting all the things you fear aside

Pull the shades so you can see sunlight

Tell the difference between wrong or right, before

Sometimes you gotta let it go

So you can feel much better

Before the things that hold you down

Become the tether

You're looking alive

Your smile just seemed much brighter than before

I know you’ll stay for awhile

You’ll never let that feeling show me more

Sometimes you gotta let it go

So you can feel much better

Before the things that hold you down

Become the tether
