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
