We met completely by coincidence.
I just happened to be wearing the right shirt.
Said you knew some one in that band,
I said "let's keep in touch"
I followed up in fear that you wouldn't.
I make a bold pass and we both laugh
And for a minute, yeah, you get real serious.
Said you're working on love with someone
Already.
Like you live in the same house and you're damn right
That seems pretty serious.
So I'm sorry I never got back to you
But with a few short replies.
I just figured who, Who'd ever let you go?
Who, Who'd ever let you go?
Not all knots will stay tight
Some of them will loosen over time
Seen them back out
Seen them pull through
Losing everything they held onto
Im losing everything I held on to too
It had been about a year since,
But I still remember how sincere you felt then.
Spent every penny I had
On extra gas so I come up and get you.
Those soft eyes
Like sunrise
In my apartment Van
In some mountain town.
No one has seen me like you.
But weekends end
My still favorite memory
I try real hard to explain ive got nothing
To offer I'm a pretty broke kid
With a more ripped up background
Now we meet here in the foreground,
And for what?
Now you know Im not kidding.
Like, why, why would I lie?
Oh, why, why would I lie
Like why would I lie?
Not all knots will stay tight
I seen them loosen over time
I've seen them back out
I've seen them pull through
Losing everything they held onto 
Not all knots will stay tight
I seen them loosen over time
I've seen them back out
I've seen them pull through
Losing everything they held onto
I was hoping maybe we could stay real strong,
For awhile then,
Maybe all at once,
I'd be ready for the eventual,
Inevitable, unravel.
As long as it's both of us
I think I can give it up.
I just don't
Wanna do this
With out you.
I just didn't
Wanna do this
With out you.
We're losing everything
That we
Held on to
We're losing everything
That we
Held onto
Sometimes
I wish we would have just
Left it there,
In that apartment van.
In that mountain town,
Maybe you'd still think of me
As perfect.
Maybe
You'd still think of me
As perfect.
