Strings Attached

I wrapped a string around my thumb To remind me of that singer at the station We pretended that we liked his old guitar and the way he sung Just to put off taking trains to different places Remember lying naked on the porch Making fun of Californians in the winter I'm still wedded to the way you tie your hair up when it's warm So I tie another string on my ring finger Now I'm losing the feeling All my fingers turning numb Pins and needles in my thumb 'Cause I'm losing the feeling Now my hands are turning blue But these knots are tying me To the feeling of you We wrote a list of movies that we'd see Said we'd watch them when I saw you in November Now this became a promise that we meant, but couldn't keep So I wrapped a loop around my little finger Now I'm losing the feeling All my fingers turning numb Pins and needles in my thumb 'Cause I'm losing the feeling Now my hands are turning blue But these knots are tying me To the feeling of you Now I'm losing the feeling All my fingers turning numb Pins and needles in my thumb 'Cause I'm losing the feeling Now my hands are turning blue But these knots are tying me To the feeling of you I told you when we woke up in my bed This is just a passing thing, no strings attached We were riding 'til we parted with our strings in a knot The harder that we pulled, the tighter that it got
