lyrics

Pull at the thread
Watch it unravel
Pull at the thread again
Watch it unravel

You know I know this thing is fragile
Just like we’re like the best kind of magic

Foolish heart, foolish heart

I feel backed into a corner
I feel backed into a corner

Look at the end of the string
Thread the needle
Can you remember how to
Sew it up again

Making the same stitch over and over
We’re losing sight of how well it’s holding

Foolish eye, foolish eye

I feel tangled up, lover
I feel tangled up, lover

Let’s go hunting for the key
Lover
Let’s go hunting for the key my love
