Cutting our ties with a hacksaw
In the backyard
Tryna use grease from my elbow
But it's so hard
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 arms getting sore

I can't cut you out
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

Know you'll be back in our hometown for the winter
How you expect me to say no when you send that picture
Got a hotel 20 minute uber from my parents meet you there tomorrow night
I don't think they'd even care if I brought you to theirs it's just I think I might

I can't cut you out
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

And I don't wanna miss you but I don't have the controls
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 theret in the middle

Playing tetherball always hurts a little
