Lyrics
Is this just a practice knot?
Something we tie to see how it holds?
You pull the thread and I watch it go taut,
Are you just another coat getting cold?
[Verse 1]

Said, "Sorry for the mess," and you said it real slow.
[Chorus]

[Bridge]
The frayed hem on your jeans is a story I could write.
I'm mapping the space between your hand and the light.
The whole house is breathing and holding its breath.
[Outro]
Just a practice knot.
See how it holds.
