Loose String Lyrics - Trace - Son Volt

One-way streets and square one 

The answers don't come from any one direction 

Not a care in the world, no better way to go 

It's fine here, watching it go down 

Half the trouble's in the asking 

And I know you're not the kind to wait around 

Taking chances with no intent to make a killing 

Too much living is no way to die 

Loose string 

Find the pieces don't fit in 

Loose string 

Coming up for air again and again 

Loose string 

Too much living is no way to die 

See the ground sinking 'round 

Tomorrow's a card to play 

Same old words heard in storms 

Repeated doom 

Too many rules, it will bleed you dry 

Half the trouble's in the asking 

And I know you're not the kind to wait around 

Taking chances with no intent to make a killing 

Too much living is no way to die 

Loose string 

Find the pieces don't fit in 

Loose string 

Coming up for air again and again 

Loose string 

Too much living is no way to die 

Said you haven't seen it all 

Just keep on searching for just one single reason 

Half the trouble's in the asking 

And I know you're not the kind to wait around 

Taking chances with no intent to make a killing 

Too much living is no way to die 

Loose string 

Find the pieces don't fit in 

Loose string 

Coming up for air again and again 

Loose string 

Loose string
