Put your guard up
Build it high
Watch it go up
To the sky
Try to knock it
Down to size
Well I don’t want to try

Feel them stare in-
To your spine
Wonderin' what they
Say so quiet
Tell them what you
Think you’d like
Or will you go and tie up all the knots inside

Throw your smile on
Let it rise up
It all comes back around
It all comes back around
20 years from now
I hope you learned about how
The knots will tie you down
The knots will tie you down

Please don’t make me
Ruin the night
I would hate to
Be that guy
I wish you could
Read my mind
Cause I don’t wanna try
Throw your smile on
Let it rise up
It all comes back around
It all comes back around
20 years from now
I hope you learned about how
The knots will tie you down
The knots will tie you down

Are you ready now?
Are you ready now?
Are you ready now?
Are you ready now?
Are you ready now?
Are you ready now?
Are you ready now?
Are you ready now?
Are you ready now?
Are you ready now?
Are you ready now?
Are you ready now?
Are you ready now?
Are you ready now?
Are you ready now?
Are you ready now?
Throw your smile on
Let it rise up
It all comes back around
It all comes back around
20 years from now
I hope you learned about how
The knots will tie you down
20 years from now
I hope you learned about how
The knots will tie you down

The knots will tie you down
