Lyrics

   The million lines 
   That now define 
   And intertwine 
   Us all together 
   A new ideal 
   And all so real 
   And almost feels 
   Like I remember 
   Sometimes it all seems so much 
   Sometimes it's almost enough 
   And sometimes I
   Get lost in time 
   (Sometimes I fear 
   I’m lost in here)

   All these little strings 
   Holding us together 
   All these precious things 
   Can't make them last 
   All these little strings 
   Keep holding us together 
   All these precious things 
   Make them last forever

   So very slow 
   You'd never know 
   Just when it's happening
   The moment fleeting 
   Re-watch the end 
   Over again  
   We make amends 
   And keep repeating

   Sometimes it all seems so much 
   Sometimes it's almost enough

   I feel like I'm
   I feel like I'm 
   I feel like I'm 
   Just disappearing

   All these little strings 
   Holding us together 
   All these precious things 
   Can't make them last 
   All these little strings 
   Keep holding us together 
   All these precious things 
   Make them last forever
