Lyrics
Tangles in Knots
© 2024 Michael Hanson Cantwell
(Verse 1)
You say I don't know
But I know that you think I know,
And if I didn't know,
How could you know that I don't?
So we twist, and we turn,
In a knot we can't burn.
(Verse 2)
You need me to need you
But you're afraid I'll be too close,
So you push, and I pull,
But you don't want to let go.
If you leave, then I'll chase,
But you'll run, just in case.
(Chorus)
We're tangled in knots we can't undo,
I try to find you, but I keep losing you,
We tie ourselves tighter the more we fight,
Caught in the loop that holds us tight.
You want to be free, but can't let go,
And so, we twist in circles that only grow.
(Verse 3)
I don't say what you want me to say,
But you think that I mean it that way,
And if I try to explain,
It's like a rope around my brain.
So I stay, but I stray,
And we fall further away.
(Verse 4)
You see me seeing you,
Watching me watch the words you choose,
And I wonder if I'm thinking your thoughts,
Or if you've tied me up in knots.
If I could speak, you'd unwind,
But now we're both trapped in my mind.
(Chorus)
We're tangled in knots we can't undo,
I try to find you, but I keep losing you,
We tie ourselves tighter the more we fight,
Caught in the loop that holds us tight.
You want to be free, but can't let go,
And so, we twist in circles that only grow.
(Bridge)
I need you to need me to be who you are,
But who you are needs me from afar.
So we circle, we twist, we're wrapped in our threads,
Each word unspoken a knot in our heads.
(Chorus)
We're tangled in knots we can't undo,
I try to find you, but I keep losing you,
We tie ourselves tighter the more we fight,
Caught in the loop that holds us tight.
You want to be free, but can't let go,
And so, we twist in circles that only grow.
(Chorus)
We're tangled in knots we can't undo,
I try to find you, but I keep losing you,
We tie ourselves tighter the more we fight,
Caught in the loop that holds us tight.
You want to be free, but can't let go,
And so, we twist in circles that only grow.
