Knots

I'm not fishing for an answer
Just untie the knots you knead
Does it always take a stranger
To snatch you out from the deep

So helpless in the half-light
When you're not a man of faith
Wish you'd wrote it all on water
Watch it all go to waste

So help me understand why
Why you wanna go back
Still running to your past life
When there's nothing left

And when you hear the silence ring through your bones
His shadow's waiting to give up the ghost
So help me understand
Why you wanna go back

How many times did you let the devil through your door
Don't wanna test the consequence of letting go

So helpless in the half-light
When you're not a man of faith
Wish you wrote it all on water
Watch it all go to waste

So help me understand why
Why you wanna go back
Still running to your past life
When there's nothing left

And when you hear the silence ringing through your bones
His shadow's waiting to give up the ghost
So help me understand
Why you wanna go back

Don't you think it's for the best
That we don't always get what we want
Oh how easy we forget
When we could've had it all
