Tether

Time to fold up all your clothes,
the nights have gotten colder,
the bell within the tower tolls,
and we have gotten older.

Spin to let the years unwind
back through where we’ve been.
All the things we left behind
will not be there again.

Pass the places you have stayed,
for none of them have found you.
And now that youthful skies have greyed,
their shadows will surround you.

Chorus:
And so you want to leave this town forever,
well, we can do it together,
any time between now and whenever.
And you say you’re tethered to this town,
and the weather just brings you down,
and if you just keep hanging around,
you’ll never be free to touch the ground.

Time to sever all your ties,
they only serve to hang you,
the moment that you realize,
there’s nothing left to cling to.

Feel your feelings fall away,
the strain is getting stronger,
and tattered threads of yesterday
won’t hold us for much longer.

Leave the very way you came,
and everything that’s bound you,
in case you don’t come back the same,
I’ll tie myself around you.
