Tether Ezra Furman

[Verse 1]
I don't know what I was thinking
Reaching out beyond my grasp
Lifting up these wings to try to take to the sky
As if I wasn't tied to this fifty-ton past

[Verse 2]
Don't know what I thought would happen
I don't know who I thought I was
I get going when I see so much open space in front of me
But I don't get too far because

[Chorus]
The tether pulls me back
The tether pulls me back
The tether pulls me back
The tether always pulls me back

[Verse 3]
I thought I should let you know that
You'll be seeing me around
Trying to let go of anything I might be dragging with me
As I make my way back down

[Instrumental Break]
