I wrapped a string around my thumb
To remind me of that singer at the station
We pretended that we liked his old guitar and the way he sung
Just to put off taking trains to different places

Remember lying naked on the porch
Making fun of Californians in the winter
I'm still wedded to the way you tie your hair up when it's warm
So I tie another string on my ring finger

Now I'm losing the feeling
All my fingers turning numb
Pins and needles in my thumb
'Cause I'm losing the feeling
Now my hands are turning blue
But these knots are tying me
To the feeling of you

We wrote a list of movies that we'd see
Said we'd watch them when I saw you in November
Now this became a promise that we meant, but couldn't keep
So I wrapped a loop around my little finger
♪
Now I'm losing the feeling
All my fingers turning numb
Pins and needles in my thumb
'Cause I'm losing the feeling
Now my hands are turning blue
But these knots are tying me
To the feeling of you

Now I'm losing the feeling
All my fingers turning numb

I told you when we woke up in my bed
This is just a passing thing, no strings attached
We were riding 'til we parted with our strings in a knot
The harder that we pulled, the tighter that it got
