Jon Troast - Leave Some of the Ends Loose Lyrics

Everybody needs
A little room to breathe
Everybody needs a day off
There's a lot of things
Pulling on our strings
A lot of opportunities lost
You can try to tie 'em all up
I don't think it's worth the cost

Leave some of the ends loose
Let some of the sand slip through your hands
If it all gets away from you
Stop trying to fit it all in your plans
Before you're all tied up in knots
Don't know what to do
Leave some of the ends loose

You can spend your days
Tryin' to play it safe
Cleaning up what you want to hide
You'd be better off
Going for a walk
Even if your shoe's untied
Some folks might laugh if you fall
At least you're getting outside

Leave some of the ends loose
Let some of the sand slip through your hands
If it all gets away from you
Stop trying to fit it all in your plans
Before you're all tied up in knots
Don't know what to do
Leave some of the ends loose

Please stop holding your breath
Don't focus on what you've got left
To do, I know you're trying to control
The things that happen to you
We drive ourselves crazy
Thinking resting means we're lazy
But the only way we're making it through

Leave some of the ends loose
If it all gets away from you
Leave some of the ends loose
Let some of the sand slip through your hands
If it all gets away from you
Stop trying to fit it all in your plans
Before you're all tied up in knots
Don't know what to do
Leave some of the ends loose
