[Verse 1] Every heart became a thread I swore I'd never let unravel Now they're wrapped around my fingers From every place I've had to travel Some pull east and some pull west Some lead home, some lead away And I keep trying to hold everyone Without deciding who must stay [Chorus] Pull the thread Make the knot Love them whether I should or not Every twist Every bend I don't know where I begin or end Maybe peace was never promised Maybe love was never fair If the knot becomes impossible I'll still know why it's there [Verse 2] There are people I can't rescue People I can't make complete People whose lives cannot be folded Into mine so perfectly But affection isn't ownership And distance isn't death You can carry someone's meaning Without holding every breath [Bridge] I would rather be entangled Than untouched and perfectly free [Outro] Every knot says someone mattered Every thread is part of me
