[Verse 1] You said the wrong thing by the kitchen sink I held my answer like a chipped blue cup We both kept reaching for the door at once Then stood there, neither one of us walked out [Pre-Chorus] We knot the thread, we pull it tight We lose the end, we try by touch [Chorus] I love you through the tangle Through the words we can't untie Through the careful little distance And the truth we leave inside When the whole room turns to angles When we bruise the things we mean I love you, still I love you Even tangled in between [Verse 2] Your coat is on the chair again My keys are buried under yesterday You read my face; I look away Still saved you half the orange on the plate [Pre-Chorus] We knot the thread, we pull it tight We lose the end, we try by touch [Chorus] I love you through the tangle Through the words we can't untie Through the careful little distance And the truth we leave inside When the whole room turns to angles When we bruise the things we mean I love you, still I love you Even tangled in between [Bridge] No perfect map, no clean escape Just your hand finding mine again One loose end, one honest breath A little room to start again [Final Chorus] I love you through the tangle Through the words we can't untie Through the careful little distance And the truth we leave inside When the whole room turns to angles We can choose what we will mend I love you, still I love you And I'll love you through the knots again [Outro] Through the knots again I love you through the knots again
