Well I told myself I didn’t want you but you’re keeping me up tonight
I like the way you talk and stare at me while I hold you tight, but
I’m here alone and loneliness is surprising
It’s times like these when I gotta tickle them strings
I was worried that i’d play you but now you’re playing me
why is it that this human nature makes you so appealing, but
I've got another girl with a body made of wood
She sings to me all night while I tickle her good
It’s either the girl next door or the girl in the next room
I know which one to go to when I need a broom
For these thoughts and emotions to sweep under the rug
They’ve both got me and I just can’t get enough
You say that you are a reflection of me
It rings true when you say it and stare at my soul so dearly, but
The same thing could be said for the girl in the next room
She’s waiting there wondering why I left so soon
A lot of people come and go while I walk off the beaten path
It feels good to know i’ve got my stringed lady on my back, so I
Keep wanderin' forward while my heart is filled with songs
In strings I trust- they can never do me any wrong
In strings we trust- they can never do us any wrong
