Ties

I’ve found some scrawlings in the dirt
I start to ask myself what they might be worth…
But It’s probably nothing
I’ve seen the patterns on the floor
And often wonder if they might mean something more…
But It’s probably nothing
And even though they led me right to you…
It’s probably nothing
It’s probably nothing
'Cause when you think about it
We all start off as strangers
And fate will steer the way you lean
I threw my caution to the wind
And risked all of the dangers
And there’s no wonder what that means
I’ll see the forest through the trees
If they’d bother to adjust
Staring through the leaves
Waiting for the perfect gust
To blow away what ties us here
‘cause all we need’s our wings
And a breeze to carry us
Been treating wounds since I was young
'cause scars like these aren’t just left by one split tongue
They’re left by several
I’ve had to choke the burning down to embers
As I heard you revel
And it’s reminded me that
We all start off as strangers
And fate will steer the way you lean
I threw my caution to the wind
And risked all of the dangers
There’s no wonder what that means
I’ll see the forest through the trees
If I absolutely must
Staring through the leaves
Waiting for the perfect gust
To blow away what ties us here
‘cause all you left were these wings
And the breeze that carried us
(Oh no, oh no, oh no)
Sometimes it takes a lot
Just to put it all in place
Even with the bones
And red hands shown to your face
So long as I’ve been tied here
So long as I’ve been tied here
We all start off as strangers
And fate will steer the way you lean
I threw my caution to the wind
And risked all of the dangers
And there’s no wonder what that means
I’ll see the forest through the trees
If they’d bother to adjust
Staring through the leaves
Waiting for the perfect gust
To blow away what ties us here
‘cause i need more than these wings
(more than these wings)
And the breeze that carried us
(Cause I need more than these wings)
And the breeze that carried us
(Cause i need more than these wings)
Cause i need more than these wings
(Cause i need more than these wings)
More than these wings and the breeze that carried us
Cause i need more than these wings
And the breeze that carried us
