​invisible string letra

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 there to make a little money

Talk, curious talk
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 and then healing me fine
And there were 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 lines
Riding to 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
Given me the blues and purple-pink skies
And it's cool
Baby, with me

And isn't it just so pretty to think
All along there was
Invisible string
Tying you to me-e-e-e
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Me-e-e-e
