Invisible String lyrics

Green was the color of the grass

Where I used to read at Centennial Park

I used to think I'd meet somebody there

Teal was the color of your shirt

When you were sixteen at the yogurt shop

You used to work at to make a little money

Time, curious time

Gave me no compasses, gave me no signs

Were there clues I didn't see?

And isn't it just so pretty to think

All along there was some

Invisible string

Tying you to me-e-e-e

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Bad was the blood of the song in the cab

On your first trip to LA

You ate at my favorite spot for dinner

Bold was the waitress on our three-year trip

Getting lunch down by the Lakes

She said I looked like an American singer

Time, mystical time

Cutting me open, then healing me fine

Were there clues I didn't see?

And isn't it just so pretty to think

All along there was some

Invisible string

Tying you to me-e-e-e

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

(A string to pull me...)

Out of all the wrong arms

Right into that dive bar

Something wrapped all my past mistakes in barbed wire

Chains around my demons

Wool to brave the seasons

One single thread of gold

Tied me to you

Cold was the steel of my axe to grind

For the boys who broke my heart

Now I send their babies presents

Gold was the color of the leaves

When I showed you around Centennial Park

Hell was the journey but it brought me heaven

Time, wondrous time

Gave me the blues and then purple-pink skies

And it's cool

Baby, with me

And isn't it just so pretty to think

All along there was some

Invisible string

Tying you to me-e-e-e

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Me-e-e-e

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah
