Lyrics Loose String - Son Volt

Loose String

One-way streets and square one
The answers don’t come from any one direction
Not a care in the world, where does next step go
You can’t make it, you just have to put it down
Half the trouble’s in the askin'
And I know you’re not the kind to wait around
Takin' chances with no intent to make a killin'
Too much livin' is no way to die
Loose string, loose string
Find the pieces don’t fit in
Loose string
Comin' up for air again and again
Loose string
Too much livin' is no way to die
See the ground sinkin' 'round
Sinkin' 'round, tomorrow’s a card to play
Same old words heard in storms, repeated doom
Too many rules, they will bleed you dry
Half the trouble’s in the askin'
And I know you’re not the kind to wait around
Takin' chances with no intent to make a killin'
Too much livin' is no way to die
Loose string, loose string
Find the pieces don’t fit in
Loose string
Comin' up for air again and again
Loose string
Too much livin' is no way to die
Said you haven’t seen it all
You’ll keep on searchin'
For just one single reason
Half the trouble’s in the askin'
And I know you’re not the kind to wait around
Takin' chances with no intent to make a killin'
Too much livin' is no way to die
Loose string, loose string
Find the pieces don’t fit in
Loose string
Comin' up for air again and again
Loose string
Loose string
