Tether Lyrics

I've been looking for you
In the ups and downs
My wishful thinking's overdue
These summer nights
And loneliness and solitude
You've always been
You've always been

Right in front of my face
You're always running away

If you're not happy now, then when?
Sink like a stone, yeah, I should have known
Waiting for your walls to cave in
I lost my nerve when your breathing started to slow

I've spent the last few years
Lost in orbit somewhere in your atmosphere
When you severed my tether
And I can feel your heartbeat
From the other side of the city
And I guess
I always wanted to keep you safe
I only managed to push you away

If you're not happy now, then when?
Sink like a stone, yeah, I should have known
Waiting for your walls to cave in
I lost my nerve when your breathing started to slow

So tell me what you're thinking
I want to live inside your head
Keep me under your thumb
Comfortable and numb

If you're not happy now, then when?
Sink like a stone, yeah, I should have known
Waiting for your walls to cave in
I lost my nerve when your breathing started to slow
