lyrics

I'm leaving my phone and my credit card
my bicycle, my old guitar
my goddamn friends and my worn out car

there's nothing left in this town for me
except you, my love, you're all I need
I'll never let you go
oh, no

because our hearts are bound by string
strung together like notes in a melody
and when you're away it pulls so unbearably
to lessen the distance between you and me

I'd give up everything I've ever owned
every luxury I've yet to know
to keep you here by my side
wherever I go

you're the sun, my dear
that opens my eyes
and warms me up after the coldest nights
and when I'm gone I trust
you'll help me find my way home

because our hearts are bound by sting
strung together like notes in a melody
and when you're away it pulls so unbearably
to lessen the distance between you and me

(if I could tie myself a noose
and place it round your throat
do you think I'd set you loose
or wait til your neck broke)

because our hearts are bound by sting
strung together like notes in a melody
and when you're away it pulls so unbearably
to lessen the distance between you and me
