Strings Attached

I wrapped a string around my thumb
 To remind me of that singer at the station
 We pretended that we liked his old guitar and the way he sung
 Just to put off taking trains to different places
 ♪
 Remember lying naked on the porch
 Making fun of Californians in the winter
 I'm still wedded to the way you tie your hair up when it's warm
 So I tie another string on my ring finger
 
 Now I'm losing the feeling
 All my fingers turning numb
 Pins and needles in my thumb
 'Cause I'm losing the feeling
 Now my hands are turning blue
 But these knots are tying me
 To the feeling of you

 We wrote a list of movies that we'd see
 Said we'd watch them when I saw you in November
 Now this became a promise that we meant, but couldn't keep
 So I wrapped a loop around my little finger
 ♪
 Now I'm losing the feeling
 All my fingers turning numb
 Pins and needles in my thumb
 'Cause I'm losing the feeling
 Now my hands are turning blue
 But these knots are tying me
 To the feeling of you

 Now I'm losing the feeling
 All my fingers turning numb
 Pins and needles in my thumb
 'Cause I'm losing the feeling
 Now my hands are turning blue
 But these knots are tying me
 To the feeling of you

 I told you when we woke up in my bed
 This is just a passing thing, no strings attached
 We were riding 'til we parted with our strings in a knot
 The harder that we pulled, the tighter that it got
