Eleisha Eagle Broken Shoestring
I try to keep myself composed when you're around
I try to keep myself together
But all I have is duct tape
Paperclips and
A broken shoestring
I try to keep my heart from bursting to pieces
I try to keep the beat in time
But all I have is duct tape
Paperclips and
A broken shoestring
I try to keep my feet from floating off the ground
I try to keep it all together
But all I have is duct tape
Paperclips
And a broken shoestring
Then you're finally mine
And the years go by
That's when I learn to cover my eyes [?]
And bite tongue, bite, bite
Those things are used to keep my mouth shut tight
Tape and clips and broken string alike
Hmm-mm-mm-mm-mm
Mmm-mm-mm-mm-mm
A broken shoestring
