Constant Knot Lyrics
How much would you bet
that if I tried hard enough
I would spontaneously combust
I wish I could disappear
and run away from all of my fear
I think I'm coming undone
So stay the night, I promise
that I wont bite, cause without you there
I don't think I could close my eyes
How do I end up this way
a constant knot in my gut
tied with uncertainty and with lust
a classic case I suppose
a haunted man
who cant outrun his ghosts
there in my skin and my bones
So stay the night, I promise
that I wont bite, cause without you there
I don't think I could close my eyes
and now I say..
that if I tried hard enough
I would spontaneously combust
I wish I could disappear
and run away from all of my fear
I think I'm coming undone
that I wont bite, cause without you there
I don't think I could close my eyes
a constant knot in my gut
tied with uncertainty and with lust
a classic case I suppose
a haunted man
who cant outrun his ghosts
there in my skin and my bones
that I wont bite, cause without you there
I don't think I could close my eyes

this song is amazing i love the end with the chanting and the claps. one of my favs on the cd(even tho every song is one of my favs lol).
i love this song, as i do with all dallas green songs. i love the line "So stay the night, I promise that I wont bite, cause without you there I don't think I could close my eyes" Absolutely beautiful. i don't even know how else to say it
Great song. I think I have it right. Let me know if I dont.
Good job, except combust is one word, and in the last line before the second chorus he says "There in my skin and MY bones." Just a few little things for an OCD guy like me to point out :-).
This song, as well as the entire cd really speaks from the heart. I love it.
fixed =]
His song is so sad. Like that mistake is weighing down on him forever and he just wants someone to turn to.
The lyrics are beyond lovely and it's so heart felt.
I agree with sakari. like some other of dallas green's songs from this album, you can see regret peeking it's ugly head, and this song is key. and yes, very sadly heartfelt.
question about this song, anyone else have 2 versions of it?
I don't. But you probably just have a demo or a live version...

I love Dallas. He's a truly inspiring artist who puts a lot into his work. And it really does show. This song is amazing.
"question about this song, anyone else have 2 versions of it? "
i think, but im not sure, you have "this sudden injury" as well because the first few lines go "stay the night, and i promise i won't die. without you there, i can, i can't close my eyes" or something. i just find it weird how its sooo close. all well city and colour rocks my socks =]
