Tenterhooks

You know I've always been faint of heart
The unknown caller or the false alarm
The knock on the door is giving me the shakes
So, you can cut me off or you can hit the brakes

But don't keep me on tenterhooks, tenterhooks
Just don't keep me on tenterhooks, tenterhooks

Just little longer then I might head out
I'm feeling seasick, getting tossed around
Just tell me the truth, so I can make my way
You can flick me off or you can spit in my face

Just don't keep me on tenterhooks, tenterhooks
Just don't keep me on tenterhooks, tenterhooks

As the waves go by
Every night
They the lap up the sand
But the strike comes fast
Right where you last
Told me the stand
The debris rains down
Whenever you want me
Just sift me out

Just don't keep me on tenterhooks, tenterhooks
Just don't keep me on tenterhooks, tenterhooks
Just don't keep me on tenterhooks, tenterhooks
