Guitar String / Wedding Ring Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You were here, and then you left
Now there's nobody, nobody
Now they're all just second best
There's nobody, nobody


[Pre-Chorus]
So if you want me, I'll be around
You're a bird in the water
I'm a fish on the ground
Just hold me closer
Oh, won't you hold me down tonight?

[Chorus]
But if you cut a piece of guitar string
I would wear it like it's a wedding ring
Wrapped around my finger, you know what I mean?
You play my heart strings
If you cut a piece of guitar string
I would wear it, this is the real thing
Wrapped around my finger, you know what I mean?
You play my heart strings

[Verse 2]
And when you're near, I feel the best
I'm somebody, somebody
It's in my pulse, it's in my chest
My whole body, whole body
[Pre-Chorus]
So if you want me, I'll be around
You're a bird in the water
I'm a fish on the ground
Just hold me closer
Oh, won't you hold me down tonight?

[Chorus]
But if you cut a piece of guitar string
I would wear it like it's a wedding ring
Wrapped around my finger, you know what I mean?
You play my heart strings
If you cut a piece of guitar string
I would wear it, this is the real thing
Wrapped around my finger, you know what I mean?
You play my heart strings

[Bridge]
You're in the country and I'm in the town
You're a bird in the water, I'm a fish on the ground
And I want to be there for you tonight
And I hope you hear me
Baby, hold on tight
Hold on tight, yeah

[Interlude]
If you cut a piece of guitar string
I would wear it like it's a wedding ring
Wrapped around my finger, you know what I mean?
[Chorus]
If you cut a piece of guitar string
I would wear it like it's a wedding ring
Wrapped around my finger, you know what I mean?
You play my heart strings
If you cut a piece of guitar string
I would wear it, this is the real thing
Wrapped around my finger, you know what I mean?
You play my heart strings

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
