Tether Lyrics by Jack Kays

DEADBEAT!

2024

[Verse 1]
You've got a way with words
I can't shut the fuck up
You've got a perfect smile
I don't wear my retainer
You got all A's in school
I barely graduated
I think I'm doomed forever
You think I'm gonna make it
You've got it figured out
I can't get it together
I'll follow you around
'Cause I've got nothing better
You wanna leave this town
I tell you you're my tether
You say that nothing's certain
But I will love you forever

[Verse 2]
Baby, let's run away
We don't have to go far
I'll search my couch for change
You'll steal your parents car
I'll change my name to Clyde
And you'll change yours to Bonnie
We'll find new ways to get high
Like robbing banks for money
You say you'll marry rich
I stare down at the carpet
I swear I'll die alone
You say I'm acting selfish
Deep down we're both aware
We were made for each other
But I like to piss you off
And you like to make me suffer

[Chorus]
And if you asked, I'd leave you
If it would make you happy
I'll cut my hand, I'll never play another note
'Cause I love you oh-so badly
And I don't need tomorrow
As long as I have you today
I will be anyone that you want me to be
I'll rearrange my fiber to make you stay

[Post-Chorus]
Stay

[Verse 3]
I know your friends all say
We're no good for each other
I think that they're all mad
That they don't have a lover
They'll tell you I'm so bad
You'll say that's not the real me
"You don't know him like I do
You don't know how he treats me"

[Chorus]
And if you asked, I'd leave you
If it would make you happy
I'll cut my hand, I'll never play another note
'Cause I love you oh-so badly
And I don't need tomorrow
As long as I have you today
I will be anyone that you want me to be
I'll rearrange my fiber to make you stay

[Outro]
Stay
