Tether

You've got a way with words, I can't shut the fuck up

You've got a perfect smile, I don't wear my retainer

You got all As in school, I barely graduated

I think I'm doomed forever, You think I'm gonna make it

You've got it figured out, I can't get it together

I'll follow you around 'cause I've got nothing better

You wanna leave this town, I tell you you're my tether

You say that nothing's certain, but I will love you forever

Baby, let's run away, we don't have to go far

I'll search my couch for change, you'll steal your parents' car

I'll change my name to Clyde, and you'll change yours to Bonnie

We'll find new ways to get high, like robbing banks for money

You say you'll marry rich, I stare down at the carpet

I swear I'll die alone, you say I'm acting selfish

Deep down, we're both aware we were made for each other

But I like to piss you off, and you like to make me suffer

And if you asked, I'd leave you

If it would make you happy

I'll cut my hand, I'll never play another note

'Cause I love you oh-so badly

And I don't need tomorrow

As long as I have you today

I will be anyone that you want me to be

I'll rearrange my fiber to make you stay

Stay

I know your friends all say we're no good for each other

I think that they're all mad that they don't have a lover

They'll tell you I'm so bad, you'll say that's not the real me

"You don't know him like I do, you don't know how he treats me"

And if you asked, I'd leave you

If it would make you happy

I'll cut my hand, I'll never play another note

'Cause I love you oh-so badly

And I don't need tomorrow

As long as I have you today

I will be anyone that you want me to be

I'll rearrange my fiber to make you stay

Stay
