This song was an extra from a Songwriters' Competition. It seems as if pushing myself to write a song on a specific topic in 48 hours or less (by the time I get around to the contest that's usually how much time I have) gets my creative process working overtime and sometimes I pop out two instead of just the one required 😃
The song I entered in the contest was sweet and soft and sad, unlike Tangled, which is all gritty and rocky. Hope you like it!

TANGLED
Red threads tangled in every direction
So wrapped up in your quest for perfection
Oh and any one of these
Could take you where you need
Don't second guess
'Til there's nothing left
'Til there's nothing
Oh! Sweet distraction could she be the one
Pulling at your heartstrings 'til they come undone
You could just let it bleed
And follow where it leads
Or you could second guess
'Til there's nothing left
'Til there's nothing
This is the time this is the place
Don't know her name but you know her face
Don't know what she does, but you see what she is
So talk to her
You know you have no time to waste
If there is such a thing as fate
It comes hand in hand
With actions taken
Talk to her
If you could let these knots unravel
Just think of the distances you might travel
Oh and any one of these
Could take you where you need
So don't second guess
'Til there's nothing left
'Til there's nothing
And the echoes go on and on
When you say what you want
So dream with your eyes
Open wide
'Cause there is no time
There is no time
Like this time
This is the time this is the place
Don't know her name but you know her face
Don't know what she does, but you see who she is
So talk to her
You know you have no time to waste
If there is such a thing as fate
It comes hand in hand
With actions taken
Talk to her
And the echoes go on and on
When you say what you want
So dream with your eyes
Open wide
'Cause there is no time
There is no time
Like this time
On and on and on and on and on
