Cutting our ties with a hacksaw in the backyard

We'll be tethered

And I don't wanna miss you, but I don't have the control

I revolve around you like a ball tied to a pole
       Gm           G               C            C
If you push me away harder, I might make a wider circle

But you'll always be there in the middle
