Shoelaces - The Submarines

I’ve had better days than this

Words trip like untied shoelaces

Still you’re worth falling down for once in a while

And I’m just inclined to admit

With you and I this could be it

And something’s telling me we’ll know before too long

Are you really going out there on your own?

These tangled lines all come undone

How did it feel when you let go?

You try your luck in your best suit

Tied to a broken parachute

It’s the hole in my heart you fell through

Try eating tea leaves and the stars and all the days we were apart

Maybe my mind wasn’t made up but I chose love

Still I’m inclined to admit

With you and I this might be it

These failed predictions kept us wondering all the time

I never want to let you down

So why not cut these strings before we hit the ground?

And now you’re out there on your own

These tangled lines all come undone

Tell me how it feels letting go

You try your luck in your best suit

Tied to a broken parachute

It’s the hole in my heart you fell through

If you say I’m wrong I’ll say you’re wrong

No one has to be right

I’ve had better days than this

And if you say you’re wrong I’ll say I’m wrong

Nothing could be worth this fight

We try our luck not our strong suit

We can’t give up this parachute

Oh the hole in my heart you fell through
