lyrics

You'd always leave
The dining hall
"Just need the bathroom," you'd say, sneak into the stall
Where you would kneel
Look so devout
Just trying to wrangle something real from your mouth

What's left of love
Is on the floor
Where we had tumbled on the carpet days before
I can't meet your eyes
Just let me out
Can't seem to wrangle something hurtful from me mouth

I take a breath
Feel something cave
I swallow sawdust blinking blindly from the stage
Do you like me yet?
Somehow I doubt
That I can wrangle something charming from my mouth

This shoelace tongue
Oh the knots won't come undone
No those knots won't come undone

The day he left
The sky was pink
Above the girl who wore her smile but didn't blink
He gave a bow
Said, "I'm heading South"
And I try to wrangle something cheerful from my mouth

This shoelace tongue
Oh the knots won't come undone
No the knots won't come undone
