String Tension
It’s been a few months
And there’s been a disconnect
From my hands on your strings
And my touch against your neck
- And the chords that used to ring clean
But have become anything except on key
Now ill write because I miss the way
I used to press into your frets
- And feel you bounce back when I let go
To make sure that you were still free
To make sure that you could survive without my hands plucking your strings
So I sit and take you back into my arms
To make up for the late distance that’s come between us
Because when you broke free from me
- Well it turns out that you’ve always been the one pressing against my frets
Because ever since you left
It’s been me that can’t break free
You took that bounce from me
You took that bounce from me
I twisted these pegs for days and days
Tried different keys but the tunings never stayed
And out of all of the techniques
- A sharp here and a flat there never before has taken so much out of me
The roles have changed and now it’s me that you play
- And when you press into my frets
I don’t bounce back quite like when we first met
So you set me down
- And now its been a few months
And there’s been a disconnect
From your hands on my strings
And your touch against my neck
Its been me that can’t break free
You took that bounce from me
You took that bounce from me
