Cut the Ribbon

Back to back and side to side

The houses full up on the rise

A three car crash up on the pass

An open sea of glass and I was home

Clinging to the coast

I put my ear up to the shell

Heard brighter tolls from older bells

I cut the ribbon, reeled them in

Sat back and let them win

And now I know

Exactly who I owe

Back to back and side to side

The houses on the rise

Back to back and side to side

The houses full up on the rise

I cut the ribbon, let it win

Sat back and reeled it in

And now I see

Why it ain't for me

Back to back and side to side

The houses on the rise

Everybody knows

It's sinking in slowly here

Everybody knows

It's sinking in slowly here

All day

Sinking in slowly here

All day

Sinking in slowly here

All day

Sinking in slowly here
