Lyrics

They're taking pictures

I smile the way you told me you liked

You'll never see them

I built a life I thought was all mine

'Cause I started drinking coffee

I work a 9 to 5

I went to Phoenix, to Manila, Montreal twice

I'm known for hosting parties

We dress up all in white

And I rinsed your scent out of my clothes but you're still in my mind

I moved on, I dyed my hair

Your voice, your face, it's always there

It's great, it's fake, I can't escape

I'm t-t-t-t-tethered to ya

T-t-t-tethered to ya

T-t-t-t-tethered to ya

T-t-t-tethered to ya

It's hard to break it

The rope, the rules I lived by for you

I keep my distance

The mark's so deep I'm still stuck in competition with you

And I met a man in college

He thinks I'm smart and kind

We don't go dancing but he helps me clean on Sunday nights

I tell him that I love him

Our voices intertwine

So how come I see you in the windows when I close my eyes

I moved on, I dyed my hair

Your voice, your face, it's always there

It's great, it's fake, I can't escape

I'm t-t-t-t-tethered to ya

T-t-t-tethered to ya

T-t-t-t-tethered to ya

T-t-t-tethered to ya

Roses and storm clouds

And brown hair, a full crowd

The shine on the ocean

A quiet explosion

Songbirds and sneakers

Front row of the bleachers

Silence in late June

No I can't escape you

Highways and sick days

And whispers from backstage

White lights in the winter

I'm falling in headfirst

The streets of my hometown

It's you all the way down

The scars from the heart wound

No I can't escape you

No I can't escape you

No I can't escape you

Oh I moved on, I dyed my hair

Your voice, your face, it's always there

It's great, it's fake, I can't escape

I'm t-t-t-t-tethered to ya

T-t-t-tethered to ya

T-t-t-t-tethered to ya

T-t-t-tethered to ya

I'm tethered, I'm tethered

I'm t-t-tethered to ya

I'm t-t-t-t, t-t-t, t-t-t-tethered to ya
