Loose Ends - Rosie Thomas

She's like a sweater old and used

Tossed and overworn too many times through

and she used to look so bright,
all her seams were tightly tied

She's like a sweater that's just warn out
Frayed and coffee-stained and out of style
and she's just about to run
before her stitches come undone

She's gonna pack her bags and leave
no more loose unravelled seams

She is young and she still has her confidence

and it's not too late to tie up those loose ends

She's like a fire in the rain
those words will damp her eyes and hit her veins
and the love she thought she found
was just another hand me down, with dangling frays

She's gonna pack her bags and leave
no more loose unravelled seams

She is young and she still has her confidence
and it's not too late to tie up those loose ends

She's found a refuge for her face
a wall dividing her unfortunate displace
and now she stands too high
for them to wring her dry, she's found her way

She's gonna pack her bags and leave
no more loose unravelled seams

So she is young and she still has her confidence
and it's not too late to tie up those loose ends,
no it's not too late to tie up those loose ends
