Lyrics Tethered - Sleeping At Last

We were married by the ocean
We were tethered by the sea
We tied string around our fingers
To remember our ideals

I'll be brave when you are frightened
You'll be strong when I am weak
In the knees
I'll be calm when you have had enough

Of these rushing waves
You'll be the oxygen I need
We'll take turns to untangle the knots
Though our hands may be tied
It's all a part of the plot

Cat's cradle etiquette
We oblige
As we learn to enlace for the rest of our lives
The rest of our lives

You'll be balance when I waver
I'll be warmth when you are shivering cold
You'll be patience when I've had enough
Of this waiting game
I'll be the anchor cast below
We'll take turns to untangle the knots
Though our hands may be tied
It's all a part of the plot
Cat's cradle etiquette
We oblige
As we learn to enlace for the rest of our lives
The rest of our lives
