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 you 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

A whole list of movies that we'd see

Said we'd watch 'em when I saw you in November

Now this became a promise that we made

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 till we parted

With our strings in a knot

The harder that we pulled

The tighter that it got
