[Verse 1]
It's Tuesday I can I get no relief
Flying out there
Hitting on the street
Neighbour waiting
He rates the girls out of ten

[Chorus 1]
Oh, your two good hands
Thinking that I understand
She is something that you can't handle
Can't tie down

[Verse 2]
One pregnant, one polyamorous
"Fuck this", she said and left
You were my "I don't know why" love

[Chorus 2]
Oh, your two good hands
Getting too good at pretend
She is something that you can't handle
Can't tie down

[Post-Chorus 1]
Can't tie down
My star fell a little bit
Can't tie down
I'll adjust but that is it
It's not enough to quit

[Verse 3]
My mother pulled the shark from the sea
And cut her love lines to ribbons
To think that all that happened to me was you

[Chorus 3]
Oh, your two good hands
Never really stood a chance
She is something that you can't handle
Can't tie down

[Post-Chorus 2]
To think that they told me to watch out for you
When I'm the one poised to shoot through
No that sound is heaven snapping shut

[Chorus 1]
Oh, your two good hands
Thinking that I understand
She is something that you can't handle
Can't tie down

[Chorus 4]
Can't tie down
I keep my tears to myself
Can't tie down
I'm not [?] motel
A holiday
