Tetherball

[Verse 1]
Cutting our ties with a hacksaw in the backyard
I'm tryna use grease from my elbow but it's so hard
But I'll be out here for a while
I'm not in denial, this is gonna work, I'm sure
Just a bit more of a rope that's already been loosened
But my arm's getting sore

[Chorus]
I can't cut you off
I don't have the power
I get more worn down by the hour
I'm not strong enough
We need to together
'Til we both saddle up
We'll be tethered

[Verse 2]
Now you'll be back in our hometown for the winter
How you expect mе to say no when you sent that picture?
Got a hotеl, twenty-minute Uber from my parents, meet you there tomorrow night
I don't think they even care if I brought you to theirs
It's just I think I might

[Chorus]
I can't cut you off
I don't have the power
I get more worn down by the hour
I'm not strong enough
We need to together
'Til we both saddle up
We'll be tethered

[Bridge]
And I don't wanna miss you, but I don't have the control
I revolve around you like a ball tied to a pole
If you push me away harder, I might make a wider circle
But you'll always be there in the middle

[Outro]
Playing tetherball always hurts a little
