The Final Thread

I remember the stories they used to tell me long before i met you
All the endings intended to leave you a smile and the feeling that it might be true
That's the thing that roped me in and now i wish i knew

We are on our final thread
We've been holding on too long
Slipping now, and i suppose it's easier to just let go
So before my bones turn numb
And in case we change our minds
Well if i don't want to i don't have to say goodbye

So take care of yourself and pay no attention to anything they'll say to you
Except for those words that are brimming with love and that hearing helps to get you through
All you need now isn't me and that's all i need too

Suddenly the breeze is blowing the other way
The ground is shifting; the earth it's shifting
Down beneath the angry sea is waiting
The boat it's sinking now and we're both sinking
