Lyrics
The Singer sewing machine hums a low hymn at midnight.
You watch the needle dance on Jesse's ripped-up jeans.
He stood on the porch, said, "You're lookin' alright,"
And you just nodded, held the screen door tight.
[Chorus]
You don't get to unravel now.
Just 'cause he said your name out loud.
Bite the thread, girl, hide the fray.
You patched this whole life up yesterday.
[Verse 2]
The cold from the linoleum seeps right through your socks.
You should've asked him 'bout the money, 'bout the calls.
Instead you talked about the frost on the laurel docks,
And drew a pattern on the window condensation blocks.
[Chorus]
You don't get to unravel now.
Just 'cause he said your name out loud.
Bite the thread, girl, hide the fray.
You patched this whole life up yesterday.
[Bridge]
Some tears you can't just stitch back right.
Some threads just snap in the pale porch light.
[Chorus]
But you don't get to unravel now.
Even when his truck's the only sound.
Bite the thread, girl, hide the fray.
You'll patch this life up come today.
[Outro]
The needle dances. The machine hums low.
