Tether

I don't know what I was thinking

Reaching out beyond my grasp

Lifting up these wings to try to take to the sky

As if I wasn't tied to this fifty-ton past

Don't know what I thought would happen

I don't know who I thought I was

I get going when I see so much open space in front of me

But I don't get too far because

The tether pulls me back

The tether pulls me back

The tether pulls me back

The tether always pulls me back

I thought I should let you know that

You'll be seeing me around

Trying to let go of anything I might be dragging with me

As I make my way back down

And for a little while I had a little leeway

I took my time like taking a drug

Running wild pretending I didn't know that I was always heading

For the moment when I'd feel the tug

Of the tether pulling me back

The tether pulling me back

The tether pulls me back

The tether always pulls me back

I can feel it now

I can feel it even now

I can feel it now

I can feel it even now
