Until I Tied That Knot

You know the warm, red scarf that I wore with you
Like a point of view- I was one, we were two
Well, when I wear it now, it wears me, too
And I wish I knew what on earth to do

Because I like how it looks when I put it on
But it makes me feel like I'm in your arms
And I'm not
Well I guess I forgot
Until I tied that knot

I know it sounds like I shouldn't keep it 'round
The scarf I found, cause it brings me back down
But it hurts when I try to throw it out
Fingers wrapped around it and tightening with doubt

Because if I give it up like I'm supposed to do
It's like I'm giving up every last chance with you
That I've got
That's something I'd never thought
Until I tied that knot

I own a few, I see them in shops
But this is the last one that I bought
And it still feels new, like I felt with you
It holds me in and holds me up
It whispers memories of honest love
And I can't undo it cause I'm tied up, too

You know the warm, red scarf that I wore that day
When the wind was crazy, but you kept me safe
It's been tucked in a drawer, folded carefully
Like I had a say, put it on anyway

And now I'm wrapped in the love that we had that fall
It's warm and it's welcoming and it's all
That I want
And it's all that I'd fought
Until I tied that knot
