Tether

This means nothing more to me Than the person I used to be So if I'm stuck between two landmarks I'll take aim and cut us free It's nice to feel alive To have muscle and bone So I don't have to grieve The loss of myself alone Staying just about present And holding on by a tether I waited for you to be settled So I could feel safe here But I won't ever feel safe here Keep my vision straight ahead And recall a familiar sight From a night I sought to leave Somewhere down the line Reach down and find a pulse But I know it's not mine But it's fine Staying just about present And holding on by a tether I waited for you to be settled So I could feel safe here But I won't ever feel safe here Staying just about present And holding on by a tether I waited for you to be settled So I could feel safe here But I won't ever feel safe here
