Another weekend argument
The anger takes her through the day
And settles in that empty space
Where all the fights just seem to stray
And she wonders as she sometimes does
Why they always choose to stay
Entangled in each other’s lives
Unraveling a little here
Entangled in each other’s hearts
Unraveling a little there
Just tie the dangling threads together
Don’t let everafter tear
She fights the urge to take to flight
And he the one to run to ground
Both gambling that a little time
Will right their lives, bring them around
To where they join, again discover
Love apart is love not found
Entangled in each other’s lives
Unraveling a little here
Entangled in each other’s hearts
Unraveling a little there
Just tie the dangling threads together
Don’t let everafter tear
In between the ordinary
And underneath the everyday
A little glimpse of who they are
Enough to make them feel okay
Feel headed in the same direction
Love admitting feet of clay
Entangled in each other’s lives
Unraveling a little here
Entangled in each other’s hearts
Unraveling a little there
Just tie the dangling threads together
Don’t let everafter tear
