Reset Lyrics by Madds Buckley

The Strings That Tie Us Together

2018

[Verse 1]
You ever keep something locked away
And you know that it's never gonna see the light of day
'Cause it's embarrassing
Stupid, even
Keep it under lock and key
Trust me it's nothing you wanna see
But you say you do
And this conversation's something we've been through a lot
Look, I get it
Curiosity has charm
And you feel like I'm not giving everything you are
[Pre-Chorus]
But possibilities play in my head
Disaster, distress, and oncoming dread
Are not the things I need right now
There's only one way, one how
[Chorus 1]
I need a reset
And that's the only way
Like, a button so I can get out things I need to say
And when I press it
You won't remember a thing
But at least you can feel like you were listening
[Refrain]
I need a reset, reset, a reset, a reset
I need a reset, reset, a reset
[Verse 2]
Okay, say I spill
What do you then?
Now that it's out in the open
No walls to defend it
I'm glad you trust me but I'm only comfortable so deep
The shallows are as far as I'm willing to be
[Verse 3]
You can tell me you're sturdy
Tell me you're fine
But it's not like I can read your mind
I like the distance
There's more assurance
That no one else is gonna fall from my momentary courage
[Pre-Chorus 2]
'Cause the body's not a pretty sight
When its guts are spilled before your eyes
And who will clean the mess?
Don't tell me that you will
Your job's not to be an emotional refill
[Chorus 2]
I need a reset
Like some insurance
When things go awry
Go back to when it was alright
I press it
You don't remember a thing
So at least I knew you were listening
[Refrain]
I need a reset, reset, a reset, a reset
I need a reset, reset, a reset
[Bridge]
And I know you're insecure about the weight but so am I
But let's be honest, emotions are cheap to come by
We've all got our faults, we've all got our scars
Maybe I'd like mine to stay in the dark
[Verse 4]
It's nothing personal
Just a choice
Maybe I'm a-running from the harder one
But I don't think we should build this in sadness and redemption
So if you're gonna do this, there's only one exception
[Chorus 3]
A reset
This won't come up again
We tell our pretty tales and that's it
The end
Press the button when we're done and we're back
We've begun a clean slate
A clean slate
[Refrain]
A reset, reset, a reset, a reset
I need a reset, reset, a reset
[Outro]
No lingering distress, distress, distress, distress
In a reset, reset, a reset
