Tether Songtext
von Jack Kays

You′ve got a way with words, I can't shut the fuck up
You′ve got a perfect smile, I don't wear my retainer
You got all A's in school, I barely graduated
I think I′m doomed forever, you think I′m gonna make it

You've got it figured out, I can′t get it together
I'll follow you around, ′cause I got nothing better
You wanna leave this town, I tell you you're my tether
You say that nothing′s certain, but I will love you forever

Baby, let's run away, we don't have to go far
I′ll search my couch for change, you′ll steal your parents car
I'll change my name to Clyde, and you′ll change yours to Bonnie
We'll find new ways to get high, like robbing banks for money


You say you′ll marry rich, I stare down at the carpet
I swear I'll die alone, you say I′m acting selfish
Deep down we're both aware, we were made for each other
But I like to piss you off, and you like to make me suffer

And if you asked I'd leave you, if it would make you happy
I′ll cut my hand, I′ll never play another note, 'cause I love you oh so badly
And I don′t need tomorrow, as long as I have you today
I will be anyone that you want me to be, I'll rearrange my fiber to make you
Stay
Stay

I know you′re friends all say, we're no good for each other
I think that they′re all mad, that they don't have a lover
They'll tell you I′m so bad, you′ll say that's not the real me
You don′t know him like I do, you don't know how he treats me


And if you asked I′d leave you, if it would make you happy
I'll cut my hand, I′ll never play another note, 'cause I love you oh so badly
And I don't need tomorrow as long as I have you today
I will be anyone that you want me to be, I′ll rearrange my fiber to make you
Stay
Stay
