Elastic Band Lyrics by What If Elephants

2017

[Verse 1]
I'm in the business of being all you need to be to make a dream come true
When I’m in that place the thing I lack is truth
From the ones who know me most, where a step forward isn't based on anything I do
But every day I make progress, stretch farther for the sake of my pursuit
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm an elastic band
Doing the best I can
God knows my breaking point
But I can feel when I'm getting close
[Chorus]
I can't keep this up
Can't hold it together
Stretched too far and don’t know how
To bring me back, where I belong
The home that forged who I am now
[Post-Chorus]
(I am now)
[Verse 2]
I spend a lot of my time choosing from the two of you which one I want most
Heart tossing inside hoping I can dance with both
In my mind a paradise, everything I stretch around to hold, hoping it will soothe my soul
And I’m cracked and dry, nothing I gain can give me back my life
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm an elastic band
Doing the best I can
God knows my breaking point
But I can feel when I'm getting close
[Chorus]
I can't keep this up
Can't hold it together
Stretched too far and don’t know how
To bring me back, where I belong
The home that forged who I am now
[Bridge]
Before I snap, before I'm over
I need your love, I need your shoulder
Before I snap, before I'm over
[Chorus]
I can't keep this up
Can't hold it together
Stretched too far and don’t know how
Bring me back, where I belong
The home that forged who I am now
Can't keep this up
Can't hold it together
Stretched too far and don’t know how
Bring me back, where I belong
The home that forged who I am now
[Outro]
Stretched too far and don’t know how
Hey, yeah, stretched too far and don’t know now
