[Verse 1] We drained every dive in the lower east side And you failed to catch the train back to Queens So you came to my room And we did some things that we knew not to do In the glow of the nights golden hue [Chorus] Youve got a tattered line of string And you tie it round everything That you want to call your own But it never seems to hold [Verse 2] And when we woke, we agreed That we would not ever speak of this night To anyone that we both knew And you said, every time we kissed I felt something that couldnt exist And I confessed that I thought I felt it too [Chorus] And Ive got a tattered line of string And I tie it round everything That I want to call my own But it never seems to hold Ive got a tattered line of string And I tie it round everything That I want to call my own But it never seems to hold [Bridge] Everything Everything Never seems to hold Never seems to hold [Chorus] Youve got a tattered line of string And you tie it round everything That you want to call your own But it never seems to hold Ive got a tattered line of string And I tie it round everything That I want to call my own But it never seems to hold [Outro] Never seems to hold
