Lyrics
This is not a place to hold despair
A rubber band to tie around your long brown hair
The source of all your powers
A clock to count the hours
But when you guess I've left, this one will still be there
You are not responsible for why
You know it in the morning and it's gone by night
It comes to you in sleep
But less and less each week
Like a language you forget the more you write
I think it hides
Somewhere out of sight
Waiting for you patiently when you need to be reminded
To unwind
You got wrapped around so tight it's
The one thing you don't talk about
You're learning time to live without it
All the while hoping you'll find me
Wherever you've been hiding
Late last night you had that dream again
Where the whole world rolled on top of you and you caved in
It made you feel so small
You kicked my bedroom wall
And you said you'd like to know where your friend freedom went
I think it hides
Somewhere out of sight
Waiting for you patiently when you need to be reminded
To unwind
You got wrapped around so tight it's
The one thing you don't talk about
You're learning time to live without it
All the while hoping you'll find me
Wherever you've been hiding
I got lost on the way out to Chicago
Rode the oldest coaster in the world
My car it hit a hundred thousand miles by Indiana
And I thought of you as I watched the 9s all turn
For now I hide
Somewhere out of sight
Waiting for you patiently and I'm trying not to try
I can't unwind
I got wrapped around so tight it's
The one thing we don't talk about
We're learning time to live without it
All the while hoping you'll find me
Wherever we've been hiding
If it's true
I'll be waiting there for you
Oh, if it's true
