Make a circle with one tail and hold it tight
And with the other, go around behind the circle
And you’re in the pocket in between, waiting for it to come out.
And when he comes out, you come and pick him up, and pull him out with a “C’mon.”
And then, when you come out, you pick him up and you pull him along with the same force, even if he looks kind of pathetic at first.
But you put just as much effort into it.
I’m puzzled by the feathers that are spread too wide, and the knots are too tight.
I want you to tie it as tight as you can
I want you to keep your arms here and your memories far away
I want you to leave it behind. I want you to leave it behind.
If I pull even one end of it, it’ll come undone
It’s much easier to break something you’ve made.
But when you untie it… you do it the same way.
I know, but if you could, you’d pull it off with a “come on”.
I put all my strength into it, hoping it won’t come undone
I’m confused by the feathers I’ve spread too wide
I’m puzzled by the feathers that are spread too wide, and the knots are too tight.
I want you to tie it as tight as you can
My dreams are here, my memories are far away
I want them to be there when I find them
Don’t pull me along without telling me Don’t let me turn into an ugly butterfly
I thought I tied it, but I untied it, I thought I loosened it, but I tightened it
In this blue and wide world, among the countless numbers of threads scattered about
We pulled together the threads that we chose separately from the countless others scattered throughout this wide blue world.
It wasn’t that we were tied together, but that we were tied together. We pulled it together with a “C’mon”.
We put all our strength into it, so that it wouldn’t be too big or too small.
